That's an excellent point which i had completely forgotten about. JSONP
should definitely be an option, and i'll be sure to account for that while
coding.

Note that the so-called Same Origin Policy is going away with HTML5 and
XMLHttpRequest2 (the _server_ will decide instead who requests can come
from, and publishes that via a new header), which will likely make JSONP a
dying technology (since it's just a workaround for the Same Origin Policy).

That said, HTML pages are _not_ the only target for a JSON interface.
Arbitrary languages can pull JSON for various purposes.
