Access-Control headers for rendered gadgets?

[Dan Dumont <dd...@us.ibm.com>]

Is there a mechanism for a gadget to specify the x-domain endpoints it 
wishes to communicate with?  I'd expect the gadget render would supply the 
correct Access-Control CORS headers.
Is there a feature for this already?  Is this something that we would want 
in the spec?

This would probably only work for gadgets rendered as iframes...  Not sure 
how it would apply to gadgets rendered inline and added to an already 
rendered container page.

I haven't seen existing support for it anywhere already, but it does seem like it could be a useful addition to the gadget spec.
