The Window is not deleted.
Does that go for the document too?
Yes. I'm not sure why it would be removed. After all, the Window object
has references to it.
http://tc.labs.opera.com/apis/XMLHttpRequest/open/015.htm tests this.
Does this mean that any Window whose document uses XMLHttpRequest will
continue to exist and consume resources until the entire browser process
terminates?
That depends on whether the XMLHttpRequest object is used outside that
Window. I suppose that with certain implementation techniques you can also
limit the amount of resources needed. Rendering and such is no longer
necessary for instance.
