[Bug 17242] Consider doing anonymous requests as a constructor argument rather than as a separate constructor

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17242

--- Comment #14 from Jonas Sicking <jonas@sicking.cc> ---
I've always thought "anonymous" as meaning "UA won't add user identifying
information".

There's no way we can make "anonymous" requests meaning "no user identifying
information will be included" since the page can add user identifying
information in the URL or in the headers. Indeed, this is quite common I
believe when making "anonymous" cross-site requests.


With regards to "anon" vs. "anonymous" I feel like one of the most common
complaints we get from JS authors is too long and inconvenient names.
