We're looking to support an updated version of http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/NOTE-access-control-20050613/ in future versions of Firefox, possibly even this summer's Firefox 2, to allow web services (small w and s) to accept cross-domain calls. (I don't think server-wide controls are the right model, given various hosted and hosting services that exist today, but that's a longer discussion that's well out of scope for this list.) Mike
