ISSUE-18: Is JSONRequest an acceptable alternative to the current model? [Access Control]
No, it's not. JSONRequest does not work for the following reasons (not exhaustive):
* It doesn't work for XML formats, such as XBL and XSLT. XML formats and particularly <?access-control? are one of the main use cases of this specification as originally designed.
* It requires a new JavaScript network API that only allows the transport of JSON. We already have a JavaScript network API that covers more than JSON (simply uses HTTP) -- XMLHttpRequest.
* Having multiple network APIs seems like a bad idea. I suggest we close this issue. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
