The open proxy has been implemented a lot here in the Netherlands back in the days when "the internet was a safe place".
A proxy for OL should absolutely not be an open proxy. The example proxies for OL are white-list proxies that require listing the WFS server and ports that can be used. CORS is more elegant but I dont think XHR in OL supports it yet??? (And as you say, requires cooperation from the provider though this isnt an issue here I think).
However, as per earlier email, a "proxy" for OL can be so much more - doing fine-grained security filters on attributes, complex joins and complex calculated attributes.
