Re: [whatwg/xhr] Convert XHR to bikeshed (#97)

@tabatkins when I applied the following (does not fix all outstanding problems, I know) I got "`FATAL ERROR: Multiple local 'method' <dfn>s for 'FormData' have the same linking text 'append(name, blobValue, filename)'.`" What now? This seemed to be exactly what you suggested I do.
