responseText shall return the empty string

GET will not have an entity body

use inputEncoding for encoding a Document

ensure charset is set to UTF-8

make 'conforming xml user agent' more 'clear' plus several non-normative changes

set accept-language conditionally

accept-language is not to be set by the UA

fix DOM2Events ref

do acknowledgments different

HttpOnly; remove duplicate stuff

use event handler attribute dfn from HTML5; document pointer

no need for a base style sheet

header not match syntax production -> empty string

typo

remove data: URL support for now

remove obsolete reference

solve last issue with respect to same-origin and make some editorial changes

define XML user agent better; small editorial change

less UTF-8; note work in progress in references

clarify how exceptions work; introduce SECURITY_ERR definition into this draft to guide implementors

fix typos

The anti-UTF-8 dev.w3.org movement has won.

set send() flag to 'false' later on in the abort() algorithm to ensure the algorithm functions properly

s/OPEN state/OPENED state/ to avoid case issue with IDL; minor editorial fixes

grr

address comments from Bjoern; don't dispatch event after an exception and allow responseXML for no Content-Type responses

terminate the phrase 'abort these steps' in favor of 'terminate these steps'

doesn't -> does not; don't -> do not

remove lots of redundant conformance requirements; thanks Simon for pointing that out!

clean up 'Conformance' a bit more

reset response entity body as opposed to the attributes

define response entity body, text response entity body and xml response entity body

define send() flag up front

change RECEIVING to the simpler LOADING

when the state is DONE don't dispatch readystatechange

editorial: simplify some language

when abort() is invoked you don't always switch to DONE and dispatch readystatechange

fix editorial typos and make sure state switching happens synchronously as well during send()

make the last two steps of responseXML more clear

define case-insensitive match

s/LOADED/DONE/ as that better reflects the state

some more editorial; also fix status to say editor's draft

fix the wording of the readystatechange event

editorial fix

fix abort()

change setRequestHeader() to do what IE does

handle method invocation as a set of steps to ensure correct order of dispatching of exceptions and to make it more clear what is expected; be more clear about when events are to be dispatched; introduce constants; merge section 2.0 and 2.1; my apologies for doing this all in one go; more changes to come though

lots of small editorial changes

change the ping to a log sample to not confuse people

fix some more comments from Dan Winship

address some comments from bjoern: don't talk about things already specified somewhere else

pleasing pubrules

attempt to make the sentence more readable

solve the user and password encoding problem, for now; say what setRequestHeader does; make sure UAs can either use multiple headers, combine the values, or a combination; use namespace well-formed throughout the dra
