We could choose to always expose resonseArrayBuffer and keep it together with responseText and responseXML. And for applications that are worried about memory usage or care about very large files we could have BlobXMLHttpRequest similar to AnonXMLHttpRequest. We'd abstract some things out from XMLHttpRequest so BlobXMLHttpRequest does not have the other response* members and so that AnonXMLHttpRequest does not need withCredentials and the fourth and fifth parameter to open(). -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
