Hi,

For our WebGL application, we stream down hundreds of individual assets to load a scene.  Some of these assets (skeletons, meshes, low-res textures) are far more important than others (high-res textures).  In addition, some objects in a 3D scene are more important than others.  Your own 3D character is more important than others.  The room is more important than props in the room.

To minimize load times, we want to make full use of the customer's pipe while also receiving data in order of decreasing importance.

In our native applications, we have the ability to prioritize network traffic appropriately, but on the web, we don't.  Being able to prioritize XMLHttpRequest would be a large improvement to our customer experience.

Thanks,
Chad
