I have reviewed patch v1.1 and I can't see any issues, other that the obvious thing that currently this is controlled by a preference, and does not enforce that only a trusted app can use this functionality. That is blocked on an actual implementation of trusted apps, so I will leave this review open until that is done.

This is already complete - I have reviewed with dveditz, and that was just pending the permission model be finalized, which it now is (for future reference, this will have its own permission 'systemXHR' for Firefox OS v1, ie with wont be combined with the TCP socket API). It will probably stay seperate unless a good reason for merging the two arises. (see bug 783716)
