Sunava,
it would be helpful if you'd use a mail client that can properly quote
:-) In your mail your text appears as if it was indirectly quoted by
myself... I have reformatted your reply so it becomes clear again who
said what.

TRACK is unsafe and should be removed. I remember reading about this awhile
back. Here's something I found on the web:
http://www.aqtronix.com/Advisories/AQ-2003-02.txt
That implies that Microsoft closed the vulnerability with IIS 6.0, so
I'm not entirely sure why a spec in last call in 2008 needs to speak
about it.
There are surely other old servers that have other vulnerabilities that
could be exploited using XHR, should we consider all of these?
That being said, I'm ok with *mentioning* the issue somewhere, but just
enumerating TRACK along with TRACE, as if this was a standard HTTP
method, is *highly* confusing.
