If the connection is synchronous, browsers differ: FireFox aborts the 
connection if abort() is called from a timeout thread, IE6 and Opera 
8 do not. FireFox's behaviour lets script authors use any "timeout" 
they prefer, thought using a setTimeout may be a bit clunky. Can we 
standardise this behaviour?
