Anne, I am sorry for any misunderstanding that has arisen here. What may not have been clear is that in this particular area, I did not actually have firsthand knowledge of the facts, and my note (addressed to Henry and cc: to www-tag) was intended primarily to ask him to follow up as appropriate. Given that this confusion has arisen, I did check with some of the TAG members who have been more directly involved, including Henry. They concur with you that there was followup to your original posting, but they remain concerned that those responses didn't seem (to us, anyway) to include the sort of point-by-point clarification that would directly resolve the concerns raised. In particular, there are questions as to how the various security-related issues which commentators had raised with respect to CORS had in fact been addressed. Do you in fact have a tabulation of issues raised and their resolution? (We would expect that something of this sort would in any case be needed when you come to the transition to Candidate Recommendation from Last Call.) Also, although we understand that at one level announcements of implementations in shipping or soon-to-ship browser releases is an encouraging endorsement, and while avoiding unnecessary disruption to such implementations is of great value, such early adopter experimentation should not prevent careful evaluation and development of standards that will best meet the long term needs of the community. So, while we appreciate and are sensitive to the concerns of those who implement early, we want also to be sure that the design proposed is indeed appropriate for the final Recommendation. Again, I apologize for any confusion that may have been caused by my original note.

If I view that as a thread it seems there were quite a bit of replies.
