It sounds to me like simply saying:
setTimout(handler, ms):
When called will schedule a event 'ms' milliseconds after the function
is called. When the event fires 'handler' is called.
would make it a bug to not fire the event and produce any side effects
that it would have. For exactly the same reasons that canceling a
pending XHR request would be a bug.
The above would also mean that the timeout would fire even after the
document has been closed, which is not what we want.
True, you also need to define that when a document is closed pending
timers and in-progress XHR requests, are canceled. Don't know enough to
have an opinion on DB transactions.
