Definitely will help those "Internet Explorer" users out there. Actually
now, pretty much all browsers are becoming retentive about SSL things,
cross domain includes, AJAX not working across domains... at least this
will help in that area.

I'm doing PCI compliance for a living now... all I can say is: 

        Thank you Windows for many requirements for certain features
        coming from your casual attitude towards security and privilege
        separation.

Bleah.
