Maybe we should just remove it. The use-case that I've heard in similar situations goes something like this: Code makes a request and at some point later hands the request to some other piece of code which is interested in the result. The other piece of code doesn't necessarily know if a result has been returned yet or not. Using readyState it can either simply get .result, or it can add a event listener for the "success" event and wait for the event to fire. I think that makes sense here too. / Jonas
