Well... It is a draft standard. And, at least as I understand it, this 
is not the W3C "we're waiting until there's two competing 
implementations before it's official" type of "draft", it's the "no, 
it's really definitely not done yet, anything may change" sort of draft.

Well, we've been using XHR, haven't we? That's not in any standard.

Having said what I said above, it's fairly clear in some parts of the 
spec which way the wind is blowing. I'm not objecting to us jumping the 
gun slightly, as long as we are aware we are doing it.
