Yup...you're right. Maybe the URLs or even embedded within the script. An extension update mechanism (if any?) could bring in new versions.

In firefox, the only way to do cross domain xhr was to access a javascript object outside of the browser sandbox, make the call, then send the data back. I'd be pretty confident that google chrome's version would have the same security limitations.
