+\section1 XMLHttpRequest
 
+QML script supports the XMLHttpRequest object, which can be used to asynchronously obtain 
+data from over a network.  
+
+The XMLHttpRequest API implements the same \l {http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/}{W3C standard}
+as many popular web browsers with following exceptions:
+\list
+\i QML's XMLHttpRequest does not enforce the same origin policty.
+\i QML's XMLHttpRequest does not support \e synchronous requests.
+\endlist
+
+Additionally, the \c responseXML XML DOM tree currently supported by QML is a reduced subset
+of the \l {http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/}{DOM Level 3 Core} API supported in a web
+browser.  The following objects and properties are supported by the QML implementation:
+
+\table
+\header
+\o \bold {Node}
+\o \bold {Document}
+\o \bold {Element}
+\o \bold {Attr}
+\o \bold {CharacterData}
