we already apply this logic in our server-side checks, but browsers check `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` headers themselves as well, meaning that token-authenticated requests can’t be made cross-origin without CORS headers from browsers, only scripts. This makes default browser and server-side origin checks consistent

I'm never entirely sure about these CORS issues, but I think I understand the basic idea, and I'm happy to trust the two of you. Do you want anyone else to review it? Do you want it in for 5.2? |

We're going to try to release 5.2.1. Should this be included? |
