Hi Ilmari, great idea!
It's not as powerful as the iframe hack was (since it's limited to
the api), but I think it's enough for me to release a quick fix for
iKiwi (not for xmsg, unfortunately, because userinfo is not accessible
that way).
I didn't know about the callback parameter, so you just saved my
business ;-) Thanks a lot!
Why do you consider the api less powerful than "dom scraping" ?
What can't you do with it?
It fits perfectly for fetching the interwikis:

And there's a handy property to determine if you have new messages:
