And with XHR 1 and XHR level 2 also (with neither XHR version going to REC, while XHR 1 was abandoned in favour of just "XHR"…) XHR level 2 was originally published under: http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/ But then, XHR1 was deemed obsolete, and XHR2 took the home of XHR 1: http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/ What would be nice would be if HTML5 would dethrone the obsolete XHTML spec from the URI (and we dropped the "5" from the spec, as the WHATWG has done): http://www.w3.org/TR/html/ -- Marcos Caceres http://datadriven.com.au
