The difference is whether or not the normative statements in UMP actually are normative for a CORS implementation. This comes down to whether or not a developer reading UMP can trust what it says, or must he also read the CORS spec. > The key point of making this distinction is that > implementors should be able to look solely at the combined spec. No, the key point is to relieve developers of the burden of reading and understanding CORS. The CORS spec takes on the burden of restating UMP in its own algorithmic way so that an implementor can read only CORS. --Tyler -- "Waterken News: Capability security on the Web" http://waterken.sourceforge.net/recent.html
