Luke,

trying to read these excessive rants in bugzilla comments is tedious. :)

In short, pyjamas is a 1:1 mapping of javascript interfaces to python syntax
and that's why you want XMLHttpRequest exposed in the DOM bindings.

I agree with Alex and Sam here. The goal of WebKitGTK+ is a GTK+ style
interface, we have curl, libSoup, libgdata and numerous other network libraries
for the job. I don't see any advantage in exposing XMLHTTPRequest. If you want
to use javascript, use javascript, not python.

Incidentally, why did you mention repeatedly that GObject bindings be useful to
other ports? As far as I'm aware no port other than WebKitGTK+ is planning on
using these same bindings.
