I've mostly been waiting to see what happens with UMP. What I've heard so  
far from various implementors is that they want to keep CORS and add the  
ability to XMLHttpRequest for credential-less requests via the  
constructor. But I might be missing something.

This is not possible I think. SPDY or some such should be of help here.  
Anyway, it is still open because mnot wanted some kind of official WG  
decision.

I've been trying to find out which solution implementors prefer, but  
without much luck so far.

We discussed this to death.

I defined this.

They all indicate the need for other specifications to move forward. URL,  
HTTP, and whatever specification ends up defining origin. I.e. editorial  
and should in theory not block progress.
