Re: GRDDL and transformations (take 2)

Harry (and anyone else) i have read through the ECMAscript
description, but i think i am still slightly confused. Can some one go
through a step-by-step example of how an ECMAscript transformation
would work?

The reason why I ask, is because of all this XMLHTTPRequest Ajax stuff
always runs into problems making requests to servers that are not
within the same domain. This is a "security feature" so you can not
load untrusted code.

Could/would a GRDDL transformation on the client-side load some script
that is "suppose to do a transformation" but could do anything from a
foreign host? I guess you can already use any URL as the @src on a
script element already, so browsers have to deal with this already in
some way.

Am i missing something?
