Re the relationship between CORS and UMP, I believe the last thread
on that
subject was the following exchange between Mark and Maceij on
February 3:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2010JanMar/0462.html
(Neither Mark nor Tyler responded to Maciej's e-mail above.)
We also have the Comparison of CORS and UMP document:
http://www.w3.org/Security/wiki/Comparison_of_CORS_and_UM
If we are going to continue with two separate specs, I think it is
important
re expectations from Members and the Public, for there to be
consensus on
the relationship(s) between the two models e.g. why do we have two
models,
where do the models intersect, what use cases can only be met with
one of
the models, why they can't these two models be merged into a single
model,
etc.
I believe the consensus is that UMP is a subset of CORS.
I don't know if there is consensus on that, or necessarily even
consensus on what "a subset" means.
I proposed several possible subset relationships in the email that Art
cited above. The thread died at that point, so I don't know if we have
consensus that those are the relevant subset relations. I would
appreciate a reply from you or Mark, and also from Anne, on whether
those are appropriate subset relations.
Assuming that my proposed subset relations are agreed upon, I believe
at least one of them still does not hold with the current UMP and CORS
drafts, my relation (A).

Maciej
