Fixed the typos.


Not clear what you mean by bubbling:

    ...is  dispatched on it during the bubbling phase

That term is defined in DOM Level 3 Events.


Should not contain a "format" but a string instead:

   If stored url just contains the "user" format let stored user be the  
user part.

I don't understand this comment.


Some commas may improve the readability:

  If the user argument was not omitted and its syntax does not match that
specified by the relevant authentication scheme raise a SYNTAX_ERR  
exception and terminate these steps.

Done.


By the "user" argument?

   This step overrides any user that may have been set by the url  
argument.

No, url argument is correct.


"Method" word missing:

Note that this algorithm might get aborted if the open() or abort() is
invoked.

Added


Wording:

     If no Content-Type header is in the list of request  headers append  
it to the list of request headers

Made more explicit.


Comma required:

   If the data argument has been omitted or is null no entity body is  
used in the request.

Added


"Error" word missing, and comma also:

  In case of DNS errors or other type of networks run the following set  
of steps.

Fixed both.


I don't know if its regarded as a contribution but I have an advice. The
removal of descriptions of the methods, replaced by just an algorithm is  
not an improvement for some users, as students for example, that may use  
the
spec as a reference...

For those it's probably better if there's a tutorial from which they can  
copy & paste. The specification is primarily aimed at implementors.
