It is orthogonal to the functionality the proposal recommends, hence
it is omitted to reduce the overall scope of the proposal.

What exactly would you like to see reference to? That CORS is a requirement?

I can understand that it may be an effective pre-requisite by way of
induction, however it is feasible that for example there may be a
browser implementation which does not support cookies or http
authenticaion or even a multi-document interface which has no
requirement for implementing CORS.

I don't understand your comment... the question is - what further
information is required in order to produce specification of the
defined functionality?
