This is a Call for Consensus to publish a Candidate Recommendation of
XMLHttpRequest:

The comment period for the 19 November 2009 LCWD of XHR [LC] ended 16
December 2009 and the disposition of comments for this LCWD is:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/XMLHttpRequest/disposition-of-comments-3
During this CfC review period, Anne and Thomas agreed to work on the
Security Considerations issue and others are welcome to contribute.
A test suite has not been agreed by the Working Group, and will not be
required for the CR to be published. However, agreeing on a test suite
will be part of the work we will do before this spec can move further
than CR.
The Editor's Draft does not yet include CR exit criteria. I would expect
the criteria to be similar to our previous CRs i.e. require a thorough
test suite and at least two implementations that pass all tests. (We can
discuss the criteria separately.)
This CfC satisfies: a) the group's requirement to "record the group's
decision to request advancement" to CR; and b) "General Requirements for
Advancement on the Recommendation Track" as defined in the Process Document:
http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#transition-reqs
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
June 30.
