It's been over a year since we last changed the name of this spec so I

Authorizing Read Access to XML Content Using the <?access-control?>
Processing Instruction 1.0

Access Control for Cross-site Requests

Yeah... :-)
I do agree the title is important and support either of the proposed new
titles (preference goes with "Resource"). One question I have here is
whether "Domain" would be more accurate than "Origin".
Domain does not capture significance of the scheme and port, while Origin
does. I'm updating the draft to use terminology a bit more consistent now
so it should become less confusing. (E.g. I'm removing cross-site in favor
of cross-origin as the latter has a clearly defined meaning and the former
is just used on blogs.)
The only concern I have is whether a name change would be problematic to
anyone that may have implemented the latest Draft. OTOH, a WD is always
at risk of being substantially changed.
The change will only affect the name of the specification. Header names
will most definitely not change and I wasn't planning on changing the
names of definitions either, to be honest.
