http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/ has some usage of "same-origin" while

prefer if it was all "same origin" (apart from tokens, of course) as
that's what I/I'll use in XLMHttpRequest et al.
The intent is to use "same-origin" when the term is used as an adjective
and "same origin" when it is used as a noun phrase. That, as far as I
understand, is correct English grammar.
Actually I am pretty sure that either are correct in the context of an
attempt to describe the usage that constitutes "english grammar". English
grammar, unlike many other languages, does not have a formal definition,
nor any body capable of making one. This lack of formal precision is a
drawback when using it to describe technical things - but one
counterbalanced by the fact that many of the people who want to understand
the descriptions have some level of familiarity with it.
