As excited as I am about this finally happening, I was so pissed about having to deal with this issue over and over (e.g. JS files describing WebGL models), that I was on the verge of starting a service to provide the layer of redirection with CORS support, ala what Heroku does for EC2. I was actually getting a bit psyched for it, because I was convinced Amazon didn't care about ever implementing this.

At least now I won't launch something only to have Amazon eat my lunch when they finally came around to providing this much-needed feature.
