Answer 1

For cross domain hits this is a good working example and now is considered as some what "standard" http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/12/21/json-dynamic-script-tag.html.

there are other ways as well, for eg injecting iframes with document.domain altered

I still agre that the easy way is calling a proxy in same domain but then it's not truly client side WS call.
