I do not know of any browser where you can disable XHR but not disable
client-side script support in turn. The latter would be required for your
suggestion to be a viable replacement.

Yes, although no such commonly browser that could set cookies with scripting
comes to my mind.

Reductio ad ridiculum, but perhaps I should not be too much surprised.
And since you did not rebut my other points, I think you are out of
arguments.
As it stands, your suggestion could serve as yet another fallback, but it
can never replace "97% of all XHR".
