New description:

 I would like to create a page on another domain that demonstrates stream
 isolation in Tor Browser. This is the mechanism whereby each website is
 downloaded via a different Tor circuit, but a web page in an iframe is
 downloaded via the same Tor circuit as the first party parent document
 was.

 Right now, https://check.torproject.org/api/ip cannot be included in
 iframes or fetched by a script in a web page.

 So I would like to propose setting
 `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`
 and removing the `X-Frame-Options` header
 for this particular endpoint.
