Comment 1

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

That code can only be run as chrome.

Comment 2

[Eugene Prokopiev]

If I can't use XML-RPC in remote XUL applications, it's wrong by design.

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

You can run it in remote XUL applications that are signed and granted
UniversalXPConnect privileges by the user.

Code that the user doesn't trust shouldn't be using xml-rpc.

bz: can't untrusted code already use SOAP/WSDL, at least to the origin server?
