XMLHttpRequest do not appear to be reusable after an asynchronous request is
made.  If only synchronous request are made then reuse is just fine.  The
attached code shows that even though open and send are called twice only one
fires the load event.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new XMLHttpRequest
2. Open the XMLHttpRequest as asynchronous
3. set the onload event handler to reuse the XMLHttpRequest
4. send the request

Actual Results:  
The onload handler of the the second request is never called. No error is thrown
and even code after the second set executs but the request is either never sent
or never returned.

Expected Results:  
Sent and returned the second request.
