If I follow correctly, relative URIs passed to open() should be resolved

a bug in Gecko.
I think you saw that we changed this to be more compatible with Internet
Explorer. Basically, from the window you contruct the object in you take
the window.document.baseURI property and somehow store that on the object
to resolve URIs against.
In particular, if you have documents A and B at two different URIs that
can talk to each other:
1) Document A creates an XMLHttpRequest object
2) Document A sets an onreadystatechange listener on it.
3) Document B calls open()
the base URI will be document A as far as I can tell from the code.
Worth adding a test to the test suite for this and similar things where
two different windows both work with the same XMLHttpRequest object.
