Which is the real explanation of where the name XMLHTTP comes from- the thing is mostly about HTTP and doesn’t have any specific tie to XML other than that was the easiest excuse for shipping it so I needed to cram XML into the name (plus- XML was the hot technology at the time and it seemed like some good marketing for the component).

That answers a lot of questions. I never did like the name xmlhttprequest, once I discovered it wasn't exactly an XML specific function.
