Hi WebAPI Fans-
Since 2 of us are busy with an SVG F2F meeting, we have decided to

week.
We can also explore different days and times. Any preferences?

I’ve made DOMString an intrinsic type in the IDL now (to avoid the
“polite fiction”, as Maciej put it ☺). I’ve also replaced [NoNull]

string null.
That seems inconsistent with what you just wrote, and also inconcistent

Did you intend for both to say ... the operation argument will be the

I sure did. (Fixed now.)
Thanks. I've updated the IDL in Selectors API to use these extended
attributes now.
My reading of http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/#tracking leads me
to believe that you can do this:
xhr.upload.addEventListener(progress, function(){}, false);
but not this:
xhr.upload.onprogress = function(){};
That is, XMLHttpRequestUpload implements EventTarget, but not any
old-style
By my reading, XMLHttpRequestUpload inherits from
XMLHttpRequestEventTarget (which is what inherits from EventTarget) [http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/#xmlhttprequest
]. XMLHttpRequestEventTarget is what adds the old style event handler
attributes, so XMLHttpRequestUpload should
