What do you mean with "redefining semantics"?

I just asked about the practical *requirement* for *synchronous*
XMLHttpRequest in headless browers which can not be solved with
*asynchronous* XMLHttpRequest.

I also asked if you can name the apps you have written, so one can see
their relevance. If something is only relevant for yourself than it does
not justify to keep the technology as a whole just because you
personally like to use it.
