The LS is short at providing an IO library. No HTTP

HTTP headers of the received document either. If we
add your proposal, why should we stop half-way? You
can always use an external library to manipulate those
and give an input stream to the DOMBuilder.

Supporting SOAP may be too ambitious and nothing I
write that late at night should be considered a
proposal.  Since parseURI is already deployed,
modifying its signature is undesirable.

However, I don't see any obvious way to actually use
the Save part of Load/Save within a browser without
resorting to some browser-specific mechanism to get a
DOMOutputStream.  Having some standard way of doing a
simple HTTP PUT or POST would seem to open up a lot of
possibilities for client-side editing of data.
