Or we could avoid the whole thing and just have:
http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/ redirect to:
http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/
Better yet, dump the "2" version number and just have /XMLHttpRequest2/ point
to /XMLHttpRequest/.
Everything in 1 is in 2, so making a big deal out of this is a valuable waste
of time justifying the decision.
There is no point in having "Level 1" and "Level 2" since there is no "Level
1"… there is just "XMLHttpRequest" :)
