*        The current draft introduces new entities to the object. We're ok with 
creating a new object (or versioned XHR object) in order to ensure that the 
standards can advance. However, a vast majority of developers will not be able 
to reliably use this as the millions of pages build around current IE XHR will 
not support them. This consequently will be a adoption blocker for the standard.

o   Ensure all new entities like constants, flags etc are versioned or in a new 
object.
