Yeah, I've been thinking about this scenario too. I think I agree with
you actually, especially given that I don't see any good usecases for
not doing the check in this scenario.
Agree? I was just wondering :-) In any case, I could easily solve this in
the specification by having a "has been non same-origin flag" which is set
to "true" the moment you make a non same-origin request or you are
redirected to a non-same origin location. Based on the value of that flag
you would then decide to do an access check. Sounds reasonable? (Besides
of course the already in place algorithms for a non-GET request to a
same-origin server which redirects to a non same-origin server.)
