Can you retrieve your Skype status using JSONP?

Does anyone know of a URL to get your Skype status using JSONP?

I've only found an XML status URL so far (http://mystatus.skype.com/username.xml).

(I'm trying to query Skype using AJAX. Yes, I could use a server-side proxy script to beat the cross-domain limits, but a direct call would be awesome.)

Well apparently you can get a text-only version of the status by changing the extension to .txt:

http://mystatus.skype.com/username.txt

It will return "Online" or "Offline". About the Cross-domain AJAX, you can only do it via server and direct call is definitely not allowed.
