This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to publish new WDs of the XHR and

As with all of our CfCs, positive response is preferred and
encouraged and silence will be assumed to be assent. The deadline
for comments is August 18.
I support both publications.

Subject: Publishing XMLHttpRequest
Archived-At: <http://www.w3.org/mid/op.uyjvz6x264w...@annevk-t60>
The last XMLHttpRequest Working Draft was a Last Call Working
Draft. As it turned out a number of changes had to be made again.
Meanwhile HTML5 also got further along and integration with the
event loop as well as the storage mutex was desired. These are now
integrated.
The Forms WG asked for a way to set the base URL independently of
the Window object. This is now possible as a side effect of making
XMLHttpRequest ready for Web Workers. Doug Schepers asked for
separate headings for each interface member. This is now done as a
side effect of making the two XMLHttpRequest drafts more alike.
Given the number of changes it seems best to simply publish another
Working Draft for now of both XMLHttpRequest and XMLHttpRequest
Level 2 and see where that brings us. It would help if we have more
implementations trying to seriously implement it so we could
declare the draft more stable, but it seems we are not quite there
yet.
I'd like to request that we publish these two drafts:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/XMLHttpRequest/
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/XMLHttpRequest-2/
If the chairs could wave their magic wand that'd be appreciated.
Cheers,
