My apologies for a minor error: Anne informs me off-list that "W3C" (who?) added the warning. Not that it should matter for advocates of the warning where it shows up -- and it's in the WHATWG copy of the spec too (http://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/). My point remains independent of "group blame": the warning is pretty much all a folly. All it has demonstrably done is to worry folks like Robert and then waste our time on this thread. I want those minutes of my life back. /be
