[Greasemonkey] GM 0.6.2 no workie

[Aaron Boodman]

Eek, I dropped xml-extras in favor of security. There were no other options.

I just realized that e4x is enabled in user scripts. You can use that
instead of XMLParser/Serializer. It's more fun anyway :-)

alert(new XML("<foo/>").toXMLString());

Sorry for the changes. This is for the best long term. And the bug
which will give us back xmlextras is being fixed
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318489) and will be in
the next point release of Firefox.
