I think the spec should say that when data arrives from the network, a task should be queued. When this task runs, it should perform the following steps synchronously: 1. Update .responseText 2. If readystate is not yet 3, set it to 3 and fire readystatechange 3. Fire a 'progress', unless 'loadstart' or 'progress' has been fired within the past 50ms / Jonas
