> Why isn't it acceptable? Please provide a concrete reason.
IMO the reason is that the getResponseHeader() / getAllResponseHeaders() part
of the spec is basically about documenting the implementations that already
exist (and have existed for many years now).
I don't think there is much compat risk from existing content if we change
them, but it's still troubling to introduce a potential not-easily-discoverable
incompatibility between browsers by requesting a change in an API that's
considered stable. IMHO a new, easily discoverable method would be better for
authors here (when such discoverability matters will always be a judgement
call, BTW).
Test (asserting that current non-spec'ed behaviour is correct):
