CORS support

Cross origin resource sharing (CORS) is a relevant spec these days with the emergence of HTML5 & JS clients that consume data via REST APIs. For a given app, in many cases the host that serves the JS (e.g. foo.com) is different than the host that serves the data (e.g. api.foo.com). In this case, CORS can enable the cross-domain communication.

It would be useful if Spring MVC provided code & guidance on how to configure CORS when implementing a Java-backed REST API consumed by JS clients located in other domains. Prior work exists that would be a candidate for integration.
