Re: Follow-up. Re: Use case: Authenticate using eID

Hey Mountie, 

I don't think there's an accessibility concern here.  The accessibility issues arises when frames are used to display content.  In this example, they're just being used to load some JS logic (invisibly).

(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webcrypto/2013May/0036.html), I don't see how CORS could apply here, withCredentials or not, CORS is only about sending/receiving things to/from other origins and sharing some stringyfiable things or cookies uses, you can not share keys, the best you can do is to send some information to allow another origin to find the keys.
