Ah, cross-domain JSON-RPC. A total PITA.

jQuery, though, definitely does support POST, but maybe not in a cross-domain
situation? You can see our usage of jQuery's POST ajax support here:

(see lines 44-59).

P.S. you may also be interested in http://reversehttp.net/relay-http-spec.html
from the point-of-view of its applicability to cross-domain work. :-)
