Comment:

 The problem here is that we have to replace the channel that Scriptish /
 Greasemonkey is working with, but S/G doesn't realise the channel has been
 replaced out from underneath it.

 Until Firefox has a sane, consistent request rewriting policy, I'm not
 sure whether there is an elegant solution to this problem.  There is,
 however, an inelegant solution that S/G could implement, which was built
 by jsamuel for RequestPolicy:
