Isn't it great then to realize that XMLHTTP, in fact, can only interact with
the site which served them - exactly as you desire?

The proxy features and XSS to arbitrary foreign sites examples that are
demonstrated in this 'whitepaper' are merely demonstrations of already
publicly known unpatched vulnerabilities in IE. They have nothing to do with
any of the findings presented.
