In general the platform does not contain abbreviations, and the attribute value this models is also anonymous (crossorigin=anonymous). 84547 1 esprehn 2013-03-18 06:40:13 +0000 Note that even the spec calls the thing this toggles the "anonymous flag" everywhere increasing the confusion. 84605 2 annevk 2013-03-19 11:25:58 +0000 Note also that the way Gecko has implemented this does not nullify Origin and omit Referer. 87156 3 annevk 2013-05-02 11:09:29 +0000 Sorry about the delay. I guess the issue about Referer/Origin can be sorted separately at some point. https://github.com/whatwg/xhr/commit/6818869c0dbd3430f431d6825d0b22c959cdcb0c
