What's a reason behind not being able to host text tracks on a separate server than the actual page and is there a way to remove that limitation?

Question

On video.js tag builder page (http://videojs.com/tag-builder/), it is stated that "Text files on a different server than the page aren't supported yet, i.e. your own files won't work in the test below but will on your own site."

What's a reason behind it and is there a way to remove that limitation?

PS: The hosting system I'm using stores all the assets files (images, css, js, text, etc.) on a separate server than the actual web pages.

See "same origin policy" and "ways to circumvent the same-origin policy".
