I updated the XMLHttpRequest Level 2 editor's draft to use the algorithms
of the latest Access Control for Cross-site Requests editor's draft (so
convenient to edit both). I also resolved all outstanding issues apart
from writing an introduction and defining what it means to dispatch a
progress event as I'm waiting for the Progress Events specification to
make that more clear. I also synchronized a lot of the language with
XMLHttpRequest Level 1. The new features of XMLHttpRequest Level 2 are
as follows:
* Cross-site requests
* Better HTML support
* overrideMimeType()
* Support for ECMAScript 4 ByteArray
* Progress events for uploading and downloading
Each feature can be implemented independently on top of an existing
XMLHttpRequest implementation. In fact, this already happened for
several features. The goal is of course that implementations support all
of them in the foreseeable future (and get their XMLHttpRequest Level 1
basic stuff consistent too!).
I suggest we publish a FPWD [of XMLHttpRequest Level 2] as soon as
possible.
Pointers, duh:
