homakov has just done some damn fine work, and it deserves actual discussion, not dismissal and downvotes.
Honest question: could many of these have been addressed if the browser simply didn't send a cookie along with a post or get to a domain that violated the usual same-origin rules? At a glance, it looks like most of the sites are receiving some kind of account or session information from the browser, with Slideshare being a notable exception (they just flatly Did It Wrong).
