I'd like to be able to embed content from a pad into an html page hosted on a remote domain - essentially use the jquery api to turn etherpad-lite into a platform for serving widgets. I don't want to expose the pad name in the code or ajax request - so I'd like to be able to do API methods like /getText or /getHTML but they would /getReadOnlyText /getReadOnlyHtml or have a "readOnly" flag in the getText and getHTML requests, so I can pass the read-only ID to a pad and retrieve the text or html thru cross-domain ajax.
