It would help if you describe a complete scenario that illustrates what
you are trying to accomplish, what problem needs solving. The only thing
that sounds like a problem description in your text above is that "the
key owner" loses control of a key after "posting" it somehow. It is very
unclear if and how that is a problem that needs fixing, and since CORS
is about being able to post the key, not maintaining control over it, it
is unclear how CORS is related. So if you could come up with perhaps a
use case description, we might be able to discuss the issue in detail.
