Walter, I don't think that's correct. The onSuccess callback is called when the XHR request has been fully completed (all data received), not when data receipt begins (XHR readyState 4, not XHR readyState 3). It's called only for successful requests (200 <= HTTP response code < 300), and only if you didn't register a specific handler for the specific code that came back (on200, etc.). If the request failed and you didn't specify a specific handler for the code that came back, onFailure is called instead.
onComplete is called no matter what happened -- whether the request succeeded, failed, etc. It occurs immediately after onSuccess/onXYZ/ onFailure. -- T.J.
