See also this thread: <http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2010-July/027455.html>. The WhatWG discussion has not yet reached the point of reconciling these proposals.

Honestly, I don't know if CORS should have anything to do with @download. Clearly, there are security implications, but CORS is not an answer to every security problem on the Web. There are two new capabilities given by the proposed attribute - force downloading a resource, and rename it in the process. Neither is what a server operator would think about when opening a resource for cross origin use.
