Termination actions. If the user closes the window in my app, the
unbeforeunload handler runs. This is my last chance to tidy up, and I
need to be able to run a PHP script and, crucially, to have it
complete, before the handler exits.

Making an async XMLHttpRequest will mean that the handler will complete
right away and my PHP script will be aborted by apache. So I make a
sync request and all behaves as required.
