It is also important to note that this does not only apply to "scripting" languages.  For example, [http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/ W3C's XForms] allows sending and/or retrieving of XML without any scripting.  Even just being able to send a SOAP request (which can be construted in XForms) cross-domain may be unsecure if the service does not expect being called from outside the firewall.  [http://whatwg.org/specs/web-forms/current-work/ Web Forms 2.0] from the [http://whatwg.org WHATWG] allows sending of XML in a restricted fashion, which for example won't allow faking a SOAP request.
