I think that works; #2 will be especially important.
However, if I read this right, we *don't* have the invariant that a
loadstart will always have a loadend.
Now that Anne's explained XHR2's model, it seems that an open can
cancel the loadend that an abort would have sent. So the invariants
need to be a bit more complex.
Well lets not accept as XHR2 as set-in-stone.
We could also change XHR2 to not cancel abort() when invoking open(). Then
you get scenarios such as:
abort()
-> abort event that invokes open()
-> readystatechange event
-> loadend event
-> abort event on XHRUpload
-> loadend event on XHRUpload
Instead of everything after the readystatechange event not happening. We
could also introduce a flag and make it impossible to call open() from an
event handler.
Maybe the simplest is the above. You can call open() from event handlers,
but events will still be dispatched (and readyState will have changed).
This is somewhat ugly, but then you should probably not invoke open() from
event handlers anyway.
