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.
Anne: I think simplifying the model like this makes sense, although
previous discussions seemed to suggest that previous implementation
history made these kinds of changes hard. I'd be happy to match this in
FileReader if that's what you're doing in XHR2.
I'm interested in hearing from Glenn, Jonas, and others, but I think
Eric's on paternity leave so we'll have to channel him w.r.t.
