[Greasemonkey] responseXML missing from GM_xmlhttpRequest?

[Erik Kastner]

Since this is such a "big" thing - could there be a flag in
GM_xmlhttpRequest, say "returnXML: true" that would do the domparser
for us (and maybe toss it in responseXML as well)?
now that I know how to do it, its not so pressing - for me - but I
know I went crazy looking for responseXML that I even went into the
source of GM and saw the comment about security.
