Has any thought been given to standardizing on at least a part of

3 Load and Save in HTML5?
The Load and Save APIs in DOM 3 are much too complicated IMHO so I'd
like to see something simpler standardized.
We've had parsing and serializing APIs in Firefox for ages. Would be
very exited to see someone put in effort to get their API cleaned up
and standardized.

WebKit actually implements most of these. I think it would make sense
to publish these as a WebApps spec. But these classes don't do any
loading or saving, just parsing and serializing. Document.load would
be the simplified load/save method that it would make sense to
standardize IMO, since Firefox has it and it is needed for Web
compatibility. I am concerned though that Document.load() allows for
synchronous network loads.
