 There's a couple of things to keep in mind when enabling cors for a view:
 
 * An ``OPTIONS`` method for preflighting is always injected.  Ensure that
   you don't have ``OPTIONS`` in the ``methods=[...]`` list of your
   view function.
+* Even though the ``Access-Control-Allow-Origin`` header can be set to a
+  string that is a space separated list of origins, this behavior does not
+  work on all clients that implement CORS. You should only supply a single
+  origin to the ``CORSConfig`` object. If you need to supply multiple origins
+  you will need to define a custom handler for it that accepts ``OPTIONS``
+  requests and matches the ``Origin`` header against a whitelist of origins.
+  If the match is succssful then return just their ``Origin`` back to them
+  in the ``Access-Control-Allow-Origin`` header.
 * Every view function must explicitly enable CORS support.
-* There's no support for customizing the CORS configuration.
