It's strictly speaking not DC API and we should probably make that clear: the OS layer credential management APIs are not governed by the W3C specification, but they might choose to allow local (app-to-app) requests that re-use DC API definitions.

Is the Origin not transported through the DC API? I think this might fall under the general clause in the beginning of the overall section that says that by DC API we mean also other things that look like the DC API. Or can you suggest some alternative text to clarify what you mean?

I have only added the guidance to 1.1 so far, but I guess we should also add it to 1.0 as an errata.
This is purely clarification of existing expectations of the platforms.
This resolves #646.
