The current applet is fetching Yahoo image directly. Not through the 
browser... So the problem is not technical.

If the dust isn't settle enough for a real JOSM plugin, maybe we can add 
a Yahoo layer to a JOSM applet hosted on OSM servers. For Yahoo, it 
should not differ from the current applet situation...
