It doesn't have to let the browser know that its finished, as it will just be calling a function to release any reservations that aren't complete. It doesn't have to be 100% reliable as they are released after a timeout by default, but the faster they are freed up the better.
The problem I have is that I don't want to hit the server on every single unload event, so I need to check the domain is changing before sending the release request. If it's not possible then it's not possible, just wondering if anyone had done something similar in the past.
