At the moment, Gecko allows adding a single "onreadystatechange"

So basically this would amount to supporting EventTarget on XHR,
right?
We already do that -- "load" and "error" events can already be
added via addEventListener. The question I have is whether there
are any obvious problems with also allowing addition of
"readystatechange" event listeners (and firing said events), in
terms of interaction with other XMLHttpRequest implementations and
with planned future work by the WG.
Ah okay, well as Björn pointed out, adding a new event in no
namespace is definitely treading on the WG's toes. Adding it in your
own namespace would avoid potential clashes.
