I wonder why the current XMLHttpRequest draft has the following:
"If something goes wrong (infinite loop, network errors) the state must
be set to loaded and all members (excluding readyState) of the object
must be set to their initial value. Also, if async is set to false, a
NETWORK_ERR exception must be raised. In addition, all registered event
listeners must be removed."
What is the reason to remove all event listeners?
If I remember correctly that's compatible with what Internet Explorer is
doing currently. However, I'm now thinking that Internet Explorer might
actually keep the event listener registered but just not allow it to be
reused (which is a bug). Much like they do with invoking open() at the
wrong time...
See http://tc.labs.opera.com/apis/XMLHttpRequest/send/004.htm for
instance. I might be doing something wrong though...
