Wrong, see RFC 5536 and <http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/terms/>.

Wrong.

That has happened when the “success function of the first one” is called.

Wrong.  A setTimeout() call will increase the risk of a timing problem as 
you can never know how long it takes to receive and process the first 
response.  Using the event listener is the safe approach.

Wrong.  Instead, it is wise to reuse variables that are no longer used.

Correct.  A common mistake is to use the same XHR object twice, while the 
response handling for the first request with that object is still in 
progress.  XHR libraries like JSX:http.js implement approaches that prevent 
that from happening.

Utter nonsense.
