Doesn't work for cross-domain CSS #54

I know this is an ever-recurring issue in javascript. I don't know precisely how to solve it, so don't blame for that, please :)

Two things come to mind: 1) XDomainRequest I believe it's called, but it requires a header to be sent at the other end, which is not always easy to configure, given enterprisey CMS'es. 2) Stick a <script type=text/css> (yes, script, not style) in the DOM, load it up with the CSS and read it out. Maybe it will work, who knows.

What else can we do to work around this problem?

Personally, I don't need IE7 support that much. It would be a nice-to-have to support IE7, not a requirement.
