[Greasemonkey] responseXML missing from GM_xmlhttpRequest?

[Mihai Parparita]

It's not easy to get at the responseXML due to GM and user scripts
running in different security contexts. You can use the DOMParser
interface to parse responseText into an XML document. Something along
the lines of:

var parser = new DOMParser();
var xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(response.responseText, "text/xml");

See http://www.mozilla.org/xmlextras/ for more info.
