Alternately, you can say:

    var georssLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.GeoRSS( 'annotations',
                                                '/openlayers/markers.php' );

The HttpRequest code is smart enough to not use the proxy if the URL 
you're requesting doesn't start with "http://" or "https://".
