Let's say you are using XmlHttp in Moz or IE (preferably with Sarissa). Can't you do that then?

Since the requestor asks about parsing XML I'll guess she'll be using (should be using) one of those 
components. If not, then I agree (and using XmlHttp somewhat forces that you control the deployment 
environment, ie intranet).
