While it’s not possible we have to use script on-demand. Globo Videos started using this approach in the new version.

Interesting proposal. I hope it gets adopted although there’s certainly a need for something even more comprehensive.

Out of curiousity, where it states “…forces developers to use more secure explicit forms of authentication maintanence.” what exactly would those be? I’m in need of auth maintenance on a current project in this XHR context and am intrigued by what this statement implies.

Very nice. At the very least, it would remove an annoyance I have with my scripts. If I have a.domain.com and b.domain.com, JavaScript sees them as separate domains and refuses to allow XMLHTTP connections between the two. With this, I could set up each to get connections from the other and finally be able to communicate between all of my *.domain.com websites!

This is great news! It will remove the necessity of my numerous poor-man’s-proxy scripts to broker my AJAX requests…

But what will be the migration strategy for the various web and app servers to adopt it?
