[Greasemonkey] Document.domain still broken?

[Bill Hilke]

a quick update.

I took the html source for http://www.myspace.com and saved it to a
local html file.

if I load that html file in FF 1.5RC3 it loads my script without
trouble, but still throws an exception if I copy that html file to a
remote web server and try and load my script.

the exception is being throw from greasemonkey.js around line 247 in 
Components.utils.evalInSandbox(code, sandbox);

I think this comes from an internal FF object, and I'm not setup to
start debugging through that.

anyone got a clue as to why the same html won't work from a remote site?

-Thanks.
Bill
