If a unification was to happen, I hope it will be for everthing to return a
Promise http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#promises
Worst case (need of FirefoxOS backward compat?), DOMRequest could be
reworked to inherit from Promise. But the way forward is to never use
DOMRequest ever again in a spec and use promises instead.
Everything returning a Promise would make webdevs much happier than
everything returning DOMRequest I imagine :-)
