Hello webkit-dev,


I've been working on a new header called Origin-Isolation, which is a way of 
allowing origins  to opt-out of using document.domain and cross-origin sharing 
of WebAssembly.Module, and thus allowing the browser to put them into an 
origin-keyed agent cluster instead of a site-keyed one. This could in turn 
allow the browser to make better behind-the-scenes decisions for process 
isolation, or other resource allocation decisions, since sites no longer have 
any ways to synchronously communicate cross-origin.



Relevant links:

* HTML spec PR: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/5545

* Test suite:

* Gecko "worth prototyping" standards position:

A natural question one might ask is how this relates to COOP+COEP? The 
explainer has that covered: https://github.com/WICG/origin-isolation#coop--coep



Thanks for your time!
