I tried to read about CORS, but did not understand the whole of it. Can
CORS be set up via server-side scripting, with PHP or whatever? Then it
will be an acceptable solution, and sooner or later libraries will be
available for both the server and the client side.
If CORS must be set up by the server administrator, it will be a problem
in shared hosting environments.
Anyway, for something that looks as easy as allowing an iframe to
seamlessly integrate a document, the overhead of server-side setup and
client-side scripting looks huge to me, and it also has the downside of
being dependent on Javascript.
Dependent on JavaScript? Adding a header to a resource is not a huge
overhead. (As an aside, even in shared hosting environments you can
usually have complete control over what goes out. It's just more
complicated. But it does not become less complicated if you have your own
hosting environment either...)
But this discussion is premature. We should first have a couple of
implementations of seamless before we make things more complicated.
