Good to see the draft move to LC.

*         Removed dependency on DOM Level 3 Events

*         Removed dependency on Window Object 1.0

*         Clearly marked which HTTP methods are to raise SECURITY_ERR



Thanks for the changes.




I noticed the draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-XMLHttpRequest-20080415/) has 
called out the restricted headers. This is great.
Perhaps it would be helpful to mention for each header, why they are 
restricted. It will help developers (and others concerned who are not security 
savvy) understand the security philosophy and also help to ensure that headers 
of equivalent function with different names are also submitted for 
consideration in this blocked list. (I don't have any that comes to mind 
currently).
