That's not the point; the point is that if we use strings for a
readyState property in one API, and numeric values in many others, we
would have scripts that have code that looks like:
if (XHR.readyState == 4) {
}
if (P2P.readyState == "done") {
}
That seems utterly confusing, hard to remember, hard to teach, etc.
