What's the use case with timeouts? Will I wait for the timeout period, somehow check if the beacon was not received by the server, and try again? If that's the use case, then we may have given developers a reason to continue to delay the onload by checking if the beacon was not sent and retrying. If our goal is to design a fire and forget way to send data, this may cause problems.
