Re: Dropping XMLHttpRequest 1 (just do 2)?

I would like to point out that there could be other specifications out in  
the wild referencing XHR 1.

This doesn't mean that you should not drop XHR 1, but would be good if the  
WG prepares a (short) note that gives the background around this decision  
and few info about the XHR 2 work, how it differs from XHR 1 and how to  
update references.  Such a note could be sent to all (relevant) WGs/IGs  
and for those of us active also in groups outside W3C could be used to  
inform people about the change with some "official" text
