Funnily enough I used this same argument with a colleague this morning. Well, I did use Chrome instead of Safari as an example. With this proposal, I could implement a CORS proxy service, host it on https://corsproxy.gaiamobile.org, set that as a trusted hosted origin in FirefoxOS and write it so if systemXHR is available it uses it and if not it uses the server to do the actual requests. Then I could use: <iframe mozservice src="https://corsproxy.gaiamobile.org"; id="corsProxy"> corsProxy.postMessage({URL: "http://a.web.com/whatever"}); And it would work on both FirefoxOS and Chrome. Chrome would just ignore the mozservice part since it doesn't mean anything for it. Now, of course, the actual service implementation would differ. And we cannot offer things like dialing or SMS on Chrome. But the semantics and syntax of the communication mechanism is basically the standard way of using postMessage.
