At the time, UMP was not a subset of CORS, so the controversy was UMP
vs CORS. I do not recall any positions other than pro-UMP and
pro-CORS; both on this list and in the TPAC discussions. If I have
forgotten an objection to both UMP and CORS, my apologies. Anyone who
still objects to both proposals, please speak up.

Since then, both CORS and UMP have changed so that UMP is now a subset
of CORS. Since advocacy of CORS includes agreement with this subset,
absent a third position, UMP is the mutually agreed subset of the two
camps.

has in common with UMP, it seems clear that the UMP draft's
documentation of these issues is clearer and more readily understood
than the CORS draft.
