I should also point out that there's a much more nuanced discussion of same-origin restrictions in this pair of blog entries by Robert O'Callahan of Mozilla and Anne van Kesteren of Opera:

  Distinguishing "Embeddable" Versus "Readable" Web Resources Considered Harmful

David, Julio, is this something you were aware of?  It would have been nice to have these comments made publicly during the last call period.
