Request will request files from within the same domain you are running
the Script on.

So why it shouldn't work with a "local" xml file? What Mootools not
have in it's core/more is some real XML Parser but you can use
Request.HTML and access the DOM which has been discussed on another
thread

http://groups.google.com/group/mootools-users/browse_thread/thread/22a0975516acd747

So if you use Request.HTML and target it to a path beeing accessable
from the Browser under the actual Domain you are working within
(localhost/ or 127.0.0.1/) you should be able to retrieve the XML and
access the DOM (not like if you would use JSON but it should work).
