@ricea asked in #144 that the analysis @jakearchibald made in #144 (comment) about range requests versus the same-origin policy really deserves to be detailed somewhere more officially.
That made me think that perhaps we should have a section detailing the same-origin policy and what it means for networking.
The specification already has various bits through that talk about this, e.g., https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#cors-protocol-exceptions, but it might make sense to have something more general.
(There's also some other bits we do for security that are not strictly about the same-origin policy, e.g., https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#atomic-http-redirect-handling. I'm not sure how to fit those in. Perhaps leaving them standalone is fine.)
