Please dont shaddow XMLHttpRequest

[daniel.doubleday@…]

This breaks other libraries which distinguish between ie and other via "is defined" checks such as DWR and others.

Please use a factory method instead.

I know that this will break backward compatability but I think the "I know that I'm not alone" approach is worth it.

If we remove the shadowed XMLHttpRequest, I'd have to remove the fixed event object etc. pp. That can't be the right solution either, therefore I close this report.

I still think we should consider this - this is one area in which we do introduce something into the global namespace, when we really shouldn't.
