sorry, upon further testing IE6 also has the same problem as safari (in that
you can't get a hold of the XMLHttpRequest object from inside the
onreadystatechange callback)
At least IE6 will be mass-replaced soon with IE7, (and incidentally my target
audience is a controlled group so I don't have to support IE6 at all)

Either way, a reference to the XMLHttpRequest object that isn't global is all
I'm looking for. Executing in the context of the XMLHttpRequest object (making
'this' a reference to said object) would be equally acceptable, but may break
backwards compatibility if someone relies on it (illogical, but possible)
