I tried to reply on the blog the forwarded message links to, but it 
seems to have comments disabled at this point.

Unfortunately the guy doesn't seem to neither have read the relevant 
specs, nor done even the most basic testing. None of the attacks he 
describe work, or rely on bugs in the server that would already allow 
XSS attacks.

The latest Firefox3 alpha does have access-control support for XHR, 
though using a now outdated spec. I plan on updating to the latest spec 
soon.
