With XMLHttpRequest we are making some changes though that some could consider "breaking". E.g. with level 2 we're overloading send() more, and open() no longer throws when passed a non same-origin URL. I think such changes should be acceptable. Making changes because implementations all differ from the specification and are unlikely to change should also be ok I think, if not encouraged. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
