Julien Couvreur posts on capabilities provided by both Dojo and the Windows Live toolkit to enable cross-domain interaction via Javascript: http://blog.monstuff.com/archives/000304.html
Microsoft's example app to demonstrate the technique is here: http://dev.live.com/mashups/partystart/ . Dojo's documentation is here: http://manual.dojotoolkit.org/WikiHome/DojoDotBook/Book75
In both cases, the methodology involves a behind-the-scenes iFrame to do your dirty work of message passing between domains. Obviously there are other ways of accomplishing this (i.e., Flash integration and a server proxy). Still, there are clearly advantages to having a browser-only solution.
