Seems some JavaScripts are better than others...

My Freeola Instant Site I see no problem in using such scripts as long as people are aware of the limitations and realise that its possible for the url to be passed around etc.. I imagine theres an AJAX version around somewhere to help hide the url from being plainly visible on the browser too.

Introducing AJAX with a back end script would be a more secure solution since it could do the secure part on the server side, however this wouldn't be possible with InstantPro, even if you could include JavaScript, since the AJAX call would need to be to another server which is a cross domain call that by default are blocked by modern browsers for security purposes :(
But I can't see any of the doubters eating any humble pie either?!?! :¬P
