As I understand it, doing a mashup requires either server-side developer 
help or a client-side plugin with special security privileges (like 
Piggy Bank).  Otherwise the javascript same-source requirement keeps you 
from combining data from multiple sources, right?

I'm certainly up for implementing things with a view toward supporting 
things like Piggy Bank.  But I'm not sure if you're suggesting that we 
should implement some functionality as a browser plugin ourselves.
