The draft does not indicate what happens to the readystatechange

dispatched using the same XMLHttpRequest object, does the

Gecko's behavior right now is to clear all event listeners (including
readystatechange) when the request goes into readyState 4. Not sure
what other UAs do.
All other user agents don't clear event listeners. See
http://tc.labs.opera.com/apis/XMLHttpRequest/onreadystatechange/002.htm
for a testcase. As such, I don't think the specification would need to
state anything in addition as it already describes the behavior
implementations should exhibit.
