 An **opaque-safelisted MIME type** is a [JavaScript MIME type](https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/#javascript-mime-type) or a MIME type whose essence is "`text/css`" or "`image/svg+xml`".
 
 An **opaque-blocklisted MIME type** is an [HTML MIME type](https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/#html-mime-type), [JSON MIME type](https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/#json-mime-type), or [XML MIME type](https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/#xml-mime-type).

+### Changes to requests and media elements
+
+A request has an associated **no-cors media URL** ("N/A", "initial-request", or a URL). It is "N/A" unless explicitly stated otherwise.
+
+We adjust the way media element fetching is done to more clearly separate between the initial and any subsequent range fetches:
+
+* For its initial range request a media element sets no-cors media URL to "initial-request" and it follows redirects. That yields (after any redirects) an initial response.
+* For its subsequent range requests the URL of the initial response is used as value of no-cors media URL (and URL) and it no longer follows redirects. Note: redirects here resulted in an error in Chrome until recently. We could somewhat easily allow same-origin redirects by adjusting the check performed against this URL, but it's not clear that's desirable.
+
+(These changes are not needed when CORS is used, but it might make sense to align these somewhat, to the extent they are not already.)

 To determine whether to allow response _response_ to a request _request_, run these steps:
