Yes, you are right, the methodology I use would probably not work for that. I came in late on this thread. I went back and reviews the earlier posts, and that is a tough one. Yahoo does have crossdomain files on the servers for the main map functionality, maybe they just missed this.
There is a mailing list devoted to the Yahoo services, perhaps the will be able to help there. I have seen the Yahoo developers responding. OTHO, perhaps a "real" proxy would work.

The Yahoo urls are buried in the Yahoo code. How do I force these client side calls to use the proxyserver?
