Jim, I'm aware of the limited use (or appeal) of synchronous requests. I was just trying to make the point that existing Ajax frameworks cannot necessarily be fully adapted to the ASV JS engine, since the ASV JS engine doesn't allow everything that XMLHttpRequest allows you to do. In other words, if someone is going to go out there and update Sarissa or any Ajax framework to support the ASV JS engine, they should be aware that only asynchronous calls will be possible.
