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

@hallvors Promises are orthogonal to the issue here. The `foo.send()` line in your code above produces blocking behavior, i.e. JavaScript execution will pause at that line until the request is completed, making the rest of the Promise wrapper rather pointless in terms of asynchrony.
