During the F2F we resolved to go with what IE does now which is more  
predictable. I drafted something  
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/webapi/XMLHttpRequest/publish/XMLHttpRequest.html?content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8#definitions  
but it should probably get some additional references and a bit more  
clarification. Suggestions are welcome.

What we resolved for ISSUE-29 is that the XHR object has an intrinsic  
property holding Window.document.baseURI from the Window it was created  
in. That intrinsic property never changes, etc.
