There turned out to be a good deal of mis-communication around this. My read
of the chromium-dev thread and the following public-webapps discussion is
that Chromium supports there being a document (call it a spec if you will)
for web developers that explains how to use the UMP subset of CORS and is
referenced from the CORS spec.
