crossdomain.xml

How can I consume a webservice that hasn't explicitely created a crossdomain.xml?

I understand it's for security and to prevent cross-site scripting, but it does seem like a major limitation to the Flex framework.

For example, if I want to consume a webservice, which is suppose to be language agnostic, then I can't with Flex. The webservice/server has to be specifically prepared for Flex/Flash. If it's not, then it cannot be consumed.

That can't be right can it?
