Re: [xhr] Abandon hope of removing sync XHR from the web platform? (#20)

To me, this is very strange.  When I click on a link to go to another page, the browser UI become unresponsive as it goes to get that page. 

I have a few cases in my code that I *need* the browser to wait while it talks to the server using XHR. The user has just clicked a button, and is expecting a short wait.

If I can't do that call synchronously, I'll have to build an artificial approach to freeze the UI until the response is received!

I can live with a "warning" in the developer terminal, but to remove this feature from the spec is going to hurt a lot!
