Things that could be improved:
1. For Firefox and file_that_does_not_exist.txt, "Access to restricted

better.
Agreed.
2. For Firefox, http://www.google.com/webhp should throw an exception
instead of just making responseText "".
Note that we let you load data from this url according to the CORS
spec [1]. So we can't just throw. But you should get an error event
eventually, do you not?
With XHR2 and an error listener, 'error' does fire, but the event object
is just a progress event with no data about the error.
