Does any currently released browse include the body when doing an XHR GET request? If a big majority of them currently drop the body, then it seems like it would help interoperability if the spec explicitly stated that the body should be dropped. IMHO this wouldn't be going against RFC 2616 as it's the application, not the network layer, that drops the body. / Jonas
