Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Noscript already provides a functionality to prevent this kind of scenario
 :

 - http://noscript.net/faq#abe
 - http://noscript.net/abe/

 The following ABE rule prevents loading any local resource from a remote
 page :

 {{{
 ...
 # This one guards the local network, like LocalRodeo
 # LOCAL is a placeholder which matches all the LAN
 # subnets (possibly configurable) and localhost
 Site LOCAL
 Accept from LOCAL
 Deny
 ...
 }}}
