    <thetext>In the redirect steps:

http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/cors/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#redirect-steps

&gt; 6. If the request URL origin is not same origin with the original URL origin,
&gt;    set source origin to a globally unique identifier.

It could instead say:

&gt; 6. If the request URL origin is not same origin with the original URL origin,
&gt;    set source origin to a globally unique identifier (which would serialize
&gt;    to &apos;null&apos;).

Just written better and nicer ;-)


Although it&apos;d be cool to just do

    s/a globally unique identifier/the string &apos;null&apos;/g

but that might be a bit too radical ;-)</thetext>

    <thetext>The first change sounds fine.  I&apos;d have to look in detail, but the second change (the one written with s/../../g) might introduce a functional bug.  For example, two unique origins are never the same, but the string &apos;null&apos; is the same as another string &apos;null&apos;.</thetext>
