Ian, it seemed to me you were talking about the server side problem  
because <?access-control?> alone would not be enough. XBL being served  
would need to be served with the appropriate HTTP headers set. (Also, not  
just <?xbl?> would need to be changed but also the other APIs for  
attaching XBL would require changing I presume.)
