OK, so I think that I get it now. The GET_ALLOWED_ORIGINS doesn't actually return any origins (urls) just an index of how many exists. That makes its name a bit confusing.

Could we add _HEADER at the end, ie. GET_ALLOWED_ORIGINS_HEADER?

As an Origin is a subset of URLs, renaming GET_URL to GET_ALLOWED_ORIGIN makes more sense, it also makes it clear that what returned won't contain path, queries or fragments

GET_URL returns URL descriptors which are used not only for allowed origins but also the device's landing page. To me adding "_HEADER" would imply that GET_ALLOWED_ORIGINS only returns the "Allowed Origins Header" and not configuration or function subsets. Given that in the new scheme URLs are not included in this data it makes sense to me to remove the "header" name from the spec as a single "Allowed Origins Descriptor" is perfectly valid if all listed origins have full access to the device.
