Research direction

Open 5-network/05-fetch-crossorigin/article.md and inspect the wording around lines 206 and 212. Compare those statements with the linked MDN article and Fetch specification. Done means the article no longer implies exactly three headers or only a 200 response, while retaining accurate guidance about successful preflight responses.

Description

Article: Fetch: Cross-Origin Requests

I may be nitpicking, but I had to google what was wrong with my preflight request when it had ~10 headers and received a 204 response.
