I'm looking for some clarification on the recommended behavior for synchronous loading. Right now, there is some inconsistency between the browsers I tested. Firefox 1.5 does not call onreadystatechange handler after loading a resource synchronously, while both Opera
9.0 and IE 6.0 do. So, the calling script needs to account for this difference by always processing the response after send().
From the archives of this list, I found an open issue
http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/webapi/issues/34, but there does not seem to be any traction around it.
