Description

Currently only text and XML is supported in jQuery, but XHR2 introduced a new blob response (http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/#the-responseblob-attribute). I think it is worth considering.

Bikeshed/feature creep. Marking for review.

There are a lot of things in XHR2 that would be useful. Probably good for a whole plugin to dump all sorts of usefulness onto $.ajax.

Yeah, let's push this off to a plugin (since Ajax is extensible now) - and we can reintegrate it later.
