Origin mention in the Privacy and Security section

[BigBlueHat]

In an audiobook manifest, all remote resources should share the same origin as the manifest file where possible.
https://www.w3.org/TR/audiobooks/#security-privacy

Not sure we should bring up "origin" without defining it, and not sure we should bring it up unless we plan to describe how (or if/when) UA's would be required to implement the Same-origin Policy--which is currently restricted to how desktop/mobile user-focused browsers work, and not often used as a constraint when dealing with APIs (which lean on other mechanisms of restriction).

Wendy Reid: #22
Ralph Swick: [“be moved to” as in “raised as an issue for discussion in”]
Wendy Reid: there’s a mention of origin in the privacy and security section of audiobook
… (quoting from spec about where resources should be same-origin)
Benjamin Young: given what we just said about pub manifest
… mentioning it here is confusing
… we should take it out, or talk about how to handle a manifest
… so we should just delete the line
Wendy Reid: I’m happy to delete
Proposed resolution: Close Audiobooks Issue #22, remove the line from the specification and defer to more qualified groups. (Wendy Reid)
Benjamin Young: +1
Charles LaPierre: +1
Wendy Reid: +1
Brady Duga: +1
Benjamin Young: i want to add that there’s something we could call out
… that’s the use of base in @context
… you can say there’s a base of all the URLs in the JSON
… we could have a section that explains how to do that
… the advantage of @base in context is that your resource list uses fewer bytes
Resolution #6: Close Audiobooks Issue #22, remove the line from the specification and defer to more qualified groups.
Action #1: edit Audiobooks standard to remove line about the origin. (Wendy Reid)
