My understanding was that XHR1 is an intermediate step (documenting the
current state, and trying to make it more interoperable), while XHR2
would contain something that is really good.
If this is the case, it's totally pointless to let XHR1 have normative
references on something that won't be finished for a long time.
Pragmatically, why does it matter when the references are finished?
The spec can't be more "ready" than all normative references.
If these aren't getting ready in time, then I'm not sure why XHR1 needs
to be on the W3C REC track at all.
