Thanks to Jeremy Keith on domscripting.org for pointing this out: The W3C has published a draft for a specification standardising the XMLHTTPRequest object (upon which Ajax, Hijax, Lojax etc are based [in fact I thought I was making the latter up, but not so!])
Prompted by talking to Andy at @media, after a quick skim-read I can't see that they're standardising the this keyword inside event handlers :-( According to Flanagan (page 365), DOM2 doesn't so I guess we're stuck...
