So something that we discussed in the thread but I don't think we
really reached consensus on was whether to use sendBeacon or something
XHR based as syntax.

I explicitly want the beacon API to never send progress events to the
web page. That provides more freedom for the UA to delay sending the
beacon to a time when it makes sense (radio on but not much other
network traffic).

Hence I think we should stick to using the current sendBeacon syntax.
