since DONE doesn't really mean DONE, i.e., because progress, load, and loadend
are fired *after* readystatechange(DONE) is fired, it would be useful to
explicitly document this curiosity by adding an informative note under the
definition of DONE in section 4.6, for example:

Note: for a given request life cycle, multiple events may be fired to the
request object after a readystatechange event is fired signaling transition to
the DONE state; more specifically, the progress, load, loadend, and abort
events may be fired while in the DONE state.
