The spec says "The abort() algorithm can only be terminated by invoking open() from an event handler." If you call open() from 5.6.2's onabort, then step 14 of the open() algorithm terminates abort(), and step 5.6.3 never happens, thus onloadend is never fired and loadstart and loadend events are mismatched.

If it clearly doesn't work (because it's throwing an exception), they have to change their code, and it'll be immediately obvious that they need to do so; there's no optimism involved. -- Glenn Maynard
