dojo.addOnLoad inconsistency between IE6 and FF3

http://dojotoolkit.org/forum/dojo-core-dojo-0-9/dojo-core-support/dojo-addonload-inconsistency-between-ie6-and-ff3

Steps to recreate:

1. Enter the following in Firebug and run:

dojo.require("dojox.xml.DomParser");

2. Now enter:

   dojo.require("dojox.xml.DomParser");
   dojo.addOnLoad(function() {
      alert("inside");
   });
   alert("outside");
   

Repeat the same steps in IE6. I used the DebugBar? console. You will see that in IE alert will first display 'outside' and then 'inside'. The order is reversed. Why this inconsistency? I tried release 1.1.1 and 1.2.1

See the same thread...but the bottom line is that there is a setTimeout within dojo._callLoaded, there to workaround specific browsers (such as IE) that have synchronization issues WRT to conflicting loading resources and causing a possible hang.

There is a note within that code that asks if all browsers should be routed through the timeout; that's a separate issue, though.
