If you want to use a web-service (from Google or Yahoo or any) which
delivers XML and you want to process this XML clientside (in the
browser),
then you have to receive it via a proxy web-page from your domain to
avoid
cross-domain.

For example[1], which using [2,3,4] returns an XML representation of the
JSON returned via Yahoo's traffic service.

Another example[5], which returns an XML representation of XML.com using
[6,7]

You can check out all of this via [8] and, using Mono or MS.NET, get this
running locally by running either [9] on Windows or [10] on Unix* (except
Mac, where running [11] from the command line directly seems to be
necessary)
