There are two incorrect use cases in

1) The draft says:

"The xml-stylesheet processing instruction does not allow cross-origin loads
to prevent data theft (e.g., from intranets)."

This is not true [...]

Maybe what we can say here is that many implementations for security
reasons does not allow XSLT stylesheets to be loaded cross origin.

Done.


2) The draft says:

"The CSS @font-face construct prohibits cross-origin loads."

That is also not true. Neither the Rec[2] nor the latest draft[3] contain
such a restriction. For the same reason as above.

Yeah, might be a good idea to leave out @font-face given how much in
flux the formats and security models around @font-face seems to be.

Removed. (I actually changed my mind on this one and think that using CORS for this is an abuse of CORS.)


Thanks to you both!
