Vendors & Spec writers,

What would be really nice is if you gave us server admins, application 
server-side developers and data publishers a say in this.

Thus I'll propose a new header:

Allow-XHR = "Allow-XHR" ":" Allow-XHR-v
Allow-XHR-v = "none" | "negotiate" | "all"

"none" defines no XHR access

"negotiate" defines the UA should negotiate CORS or UMP headers (leave 
that up to you guys to decide what's best ;)

"all" defines that the UA should process the XHR request as a normal 
client HTTP request leaving all information + headers intact.

Best,

Nathan
