[whatwg] Fetch: please review!

[Rik Cabanier]

Hi Anne,

Your specification contains the following [1]:

A response is either CORS-same-origin or CORS-cross-origin. Unless
otherwise indicated a response is CORS-same-origin.


but it doesn't say what the difference is between the two. The 'CO' in CORS
stands for 'cross origin' so 'CORS-same-origin' would mean 'cross origin
sharing for the same origin' which sounds a bit strange.
