I'm a little bit worried that if we enable scripts for XHR (they are
currently disabled in firefox) that sites would break. Though chances
are probably pretty small. However if scripts are enabled we need to
define exactly in which context they execute. Should they have their
own 'window'? If not 'window.document' would not refer to their own
document.
Yes, I'm not really sure if it's a good idea, but we should consider the
pros and cons of both options.
I tend to agree with Niklas Åkerlund that XMLHttpRequest is for fetching a
single resource (of data). If we'd execute scripts in that resource per
the HTML parser that would mean that other resources have to be loaded as
well. In my current copy of XMLHttpRequest level 2 I have written that the
parser should run with support for scripting disabled for that reason.
(I'll hope to check in a copy once I've clearly marked outstanding issues,
maybe later today.)
