I agree that the most simple and safe way would be to place the 'cronnable' scripts above document root. But you are right, that loses the whole CI idea.

Not sure you understand what I mean. I always move the system and application folders out of the document root, I don't see any reason for them to be there.... it's a fairly trivial change to the index.php file to move them. Cron scripts would also not be in the document root - by definition they aren't intended for public access.
