Are you concerned about the XSS possibilities if the other host (Google 
in this case) decided to change the JavaScript served at the well-known 
address to take advantage of its inclusion in a webpage with a security 
context?

Certainly the use of "standard" JavaScript libraries loaded from foreign 
servers is commonplace, but I think the security concern is at least 
worth considering (unless I completely misunderstand it).
