--- Comment #10 from piersh@hotmail.com 2012-01-04 18:41:23 UTC ---
why is XMLHttpRequest not sufficient?
1) it only works over HTTP. other URL schemes aren't supported.
2) it is imperative-style, as opposed to declarative.
HTML is a markup language, not a programming language.
the use case is in comment #3

consider that simple one-liner compared to the XHR nightmare you have to jump
through. what happens if you want to run the content from a non-http url scheme
(file://) ?
