Good question. No, ajaxStop isn't being fired when I call abort. I used
this to test:
$().ajaxStop( function() { alert('foo!'); } );
The alert appeared normally when I allowed the request to complete, but
if I hit cancel (calling the abort method), the block UI overlay stayed
and the alert did not appear.
As for onreadystatechange, I'm not too familiar with it, but I see it is
a property of the xhr object. Instead of calling abort, I tried having
the "cancel" event log xhr.onreadystatechange in the Firebug console,
and it was null. Trying to log it from ajaxStart doesn't work either,
since the xhr object doesn't exist yet.

Hi Matt,
Is ajaxStop getting invoked when you call abort? What about
onreadystatechange, does it get invoked on an abort?
