Details

Support for the deny="" pseudo-attribute on <?access-control?> and "deny" ruleset on the Access-Control HTTP header should be removed from the implementation as it has been removed from the specification on request of Jonas Sicking.

They are not necessary given that the server can be easily configured to reject cross-site requests and there's an exclude clause to denote exceptions to the allow clause already.
