I think the recommendation to use request tokens still stands[1].
I haven't really had the chance to dive into html5/client-side js apps yet -- but it should be possible to apply the same idea to single-page apps as well? Perhaps even easier, as you don't need a fall back to plain http/1.1 on the client side, as you can already assume the client is able to run javascript, and you could do a lot of stuff to manipululate/validate tokens there.
Having a good implementation (not having to roll your own) would be good, though. Judging by [2] you might have to implement it yourself. Although [3] and [4] looks promising for express.js at least.
I have not had time to review this -- so preform your own due diligence.
