Is there any reason to use a synchronous XMLHttpRequest?

by

Synchronous XHRs are useful for saving user data. If you handle the beforeunload event you can upload data to the server as the user closes the page.

If this were done using the async option, then the page could close before the request completes. Doing this synchronously ensures the request completes or fails in an expected way.
