Hi Dave,
Thanks for the encouragement.
I'ld like to get the constraints nailed down before offering another design.
One possible interpretation of the conversation to date is that the mechanism
must work if the author has only the ability to deposit a single file on the
web server. That makes things pretty tough.
Given the resistance to changing the design of the XMLHttpRequest proposal, and Jonas
Sicking's comment that Firefox 3 will support JSONRequest, I'm also strongly tempted to
say "good enough" and move on.
Just to set the record straight here. Firefox 3 will not support
JSONRequest. We are doing some JSON work, and I wasn't sure if that
would include the "Request part" or not, but it turns out it does not.
It is also at this point too late to even consider adding such support.
We are way past feature freeze and are focusing on polish and regression
fixes.
