This would allow me to use it for synchronous XMLHttpRequest. It would be nice all network related activity could be explained via the fetch algorithm rather than a bunch of algorithms looking very similar. (I marked it as P1/critical so I could continue to work on XMLHttpRequest somewhat sooner.) 31696 1 annevk 2010-02-10 08:59:49 +0000 Actually, why can "pause" not be used for this? The specification itself states: > Pause until either any applicable style sheets > have been fetched and applied, or the user agent > has timed out and decided to not wait for those > style sheets. ... so either that is a bug or it is suitable enough for XMLHttpRequest. 32068 2 ian 2010-02-14 11:14:30 +0000 *** Bug 8911 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 32108 3 ian 2010-02-15 23:39:11 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
