ACTION-48 Draft text for XHR listing commonly implemented properties and methods that we don't specify

Hi,

This is a list of commonly implemented properties and functions that isn't  
in any spec and which will not make it to the first XMLHttpRequest  
specification. The WG might specify these methods/techniques in the second  
release.

1.) onerror - Mozilla
2.) onprogress - Mozilla, Opera (using DOM3 Load)
3.) onload - Mozilla, Opera, Safari (onSuccess, onComplete)

4.) bool multipart - Mozilla

5.) responseBody - IE
6.) overrideMimeType - Mozilla, Safari (Opera does this auto-magically)

I have also looked at some of the features found in toolkits:
7.) ontimeout
8.) retries if failed
9.) batch/bulk/group loading of content
10.) form submits
