Unless IE is soon to indicate support for all of the extra CORS

should be to drop these unsupported features from the specification

deployed browsers. I thought that was the declared policy for HTML5.
This is not HTML5. Anyway, speculating what IE may or may not do is not
really interesting.
Jaka's request is reasonable and what the WG is offering in response
is unreasonable. I expect many other web application developers will
have needs similar to Jaka's. Meeting those needs with a simple
solution is technically feasible. The politics seem to be much more
difficult.
I'm not sure what this has to do with politics. I explained the rationale
for the current design.
