But you /do/ provide the full source of XMLHttpRequest.js, together
with a means of recombining it with your application (you provide the
full source, and a build mechanism for openlayers). Anyone could
substitute their own modified (or later version) of XMLHttpRequest.js,
and create a modified OpenLayers based on that.

So what exactly is the issue?
