The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6454,
"The Web Origin Concept".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6454&eid=3249

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Anne van Kesteren <annevk@annevk.nl>

Section: 7.1. Syntax

Original Text
-------------
origin              = "Origin:" OWS origin-list-or-null OWS
origin-list-or-null = %x6E %x75 %x6C %x6C / origin-list
origin-list         = serialized-origin *( SP serialized-origin )

Corrected Text
--------------
origin              = "Origin:" OWS origin-or-null OWS
origin-or-null      = %x6E %x75 %x6C %x6C / serialized-origin

Notes
-----
Rationale: List of origins was added for CORS http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/ but CORS does not require it and we should leave this as a choice.

This syntax restriction also has limited impact on 7.2. and 7.3.
