As promised, I've discussed the proposal we discussed at the F2F with my
extended team and we're excited
about making the change to integrate XDomainRequest with the public
scenarios specified by Access Control.
This means IE8 will ship the updated section of Access Control that
enables public data aggregation (no creds on
wildcard) while setting us up on a trajectory to support more in the
future (post IE8) using the API flag in an XDR
level 2.
Awesome! I think this is great news for the web community. I just want to
say great job to all those involved in seeing convergence being reached. I
believe many web developers are going to benefit from this specification,
and much more so now that it will be accessible across browsers.
Thank you for your efforts,
Kris
