Well, there's the generic discussion regarding how undefined and
optional work together in ES6/WebIDL.

But then there's a separate discussion about what's required for web
compatibility in XHR.

The outcome of the first discussion might very well affect the IDL for
what we use in the spec. But the behavior we need for web compat is
not really affected by how optional arguments are defined by
ES6/WebIDL.
