Test for cross-domain XHR

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

tests for cross-domain XHR  (as specified by the W3C at 
http://www.w3.org/TR/access-control/) 
would be very useful.

Would you be willing to accept such tests?

Sounds like this test would belong in the Network category. Sounds good to me, 
but 
assigning to Steve as owner of the Network tests for his feedback.

This should go in the (yet to be created) security or HTML5 categories. Lindsey

what do you think?

@steve - Why don't you think networking? This seems similar to the other tests 
in the 
regard that it will do a transport request along with header checking.
I know it's also security related inasmuch as cross-domain xhr is a security 
restriction today, but I think it's more intuitive to call this a 
networking/request 
capability in the browser when it works.
Doesn't seem relevant to HTML5 to me(it's not a new tag, etc..)

@melopt - could you make a standalone test page which runs onload? (see the 
categories/selectors/static/selectors.html page for an example) We can wrangle 
about 
where it should live, but once we have a test page put together that other 
stuff is 
trivial.
Thanks
