In looking into this text and the related specifications I decided that
it would be better to address the risk of request forgery in the
protocol specifications. Right now, they say nothing about this
problem, but they really should. I'm going to open an issue.

On the assumption that the protocol documents address this problem
adequately, then this document doesn't need to concern itself with the
problem. It is enough to remove any false claims and defer to the
protocol spec.

This contains a tweak to the adjacent text for the Origin field (#368),
but it doesn't fix that issue.

Closes #175.
