gollark: It'll send your cookies with it and stuff, so if you could see the response it would be a horrible security problem.
gollark: Yes. The situation now is that browsers will happily send requests from one origin to another, but only if it's a GET or POST request, not allow custom headers with it, and, critically, do bizarre insane stuff to avoid letting code see the *response*.
gollark: Oh, and unify ServiceWorker and WebWorker and SharedWorker and whatever into some sort of nicer "background task" API.
gollark: API coherency: drop stuff like XMLHttpRequest which is obsoleted by cleaner things like `fetch`, actually have a module system and don't just randomly scatter objects and functions in the global scope, don't have a weird mix of callbacks, events and promises everywhere.
gollark: Alternatively, cross-origin stuff is allowed but runs with separate cookies, caches, etc. to first-party requests, and comes with a "requested from this origin" header.
