I took a look back to see what AC looked like back in Feb. 2007:

* http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-access-control-20070215/

and the spec was very short and says "The policy described is only safe for
HEAD and GET requests. " Things have changed quite a bit since then.

It probably does makes sense to split off AC for XHR from AC for XBL and
VXML.

Do we really think authors of XBL2 and VoiceXML are going to be able to
set headers on their sites? That seems like a much higher barrier to entry
than we should have.

Maybe we should separate Access-Control for XHR from Access-Control for
XBL and VXML?
