In the XMLHttpRequest spec the state machine is used to define the expected behavior when XHR object methods are called out of sequence. For example, if I invoke send() when an XHR object is not in the |opened| state then implementations are expected to throw an InvalidStateError exception [1]. What is the expected behavior of Promises wrt out of sequence method invocation? Specifically, if I call myPromise.then(func) after the Promise has already reached the |fulfilled| state what should the UA do? Throw an InvalidStateError (ala XHR), invoke the relevant fulfill or error callback based on the object's previously established resolution or some other behavior? Looking through the mailing list archives I found [2] but believe that differs from this discussion since it attempts to clarify the resolution behavior rather than attempting to clarify consumer-side late/out-of-order fulfill and reject callback invocation, as discussed here. br/ Rich [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#the-send()-method [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2013AprJun/0283.html
