Sunava, I've been lurking on this list for a while, and wanted to ask a question that I don't think has been answered on the list. The IE8 White Paper on "Better Ajax Development" says: "Cross-domain requests are anonymous to protect user data, which means that servers cannot easily find out who is requesting data. As a result, you only want to request and respond with cross-domain data that is not sensitive or personally identifiable." Is that an accurate representation of MS's position, that XDR should never be used to request sensitive/private information, only generic public data? Thanks, -Ben Adida ben@adida.net
