Comment (by oc):

 Let's note that enforcing stricter standards than stock browsers is one of
 the reasons why TBB exists: for example, Linux stock FF will happily XHR
 to LAN (as will Chrome), whereas TBB will not.
 We already have bent the W3C standard and gone further than CORS, for the
 better. Unfortunately, it seems this job is only half-done when you're not
 running FreeBSDâ
