For what it's worth, nobody has or can speak for all of Firefox.

Personally I would prefer to see the "UMP model" be specced as part of
the CORS spec, mostly to avoid inevitable differences between two
specs trying to specify the same thing. And creating an authoring
guide specifically for the UMP security model to help authors that
want to just use UMP. Specs make for bad developer documentation
anyway.
