Personally I'd quite like responseXML to return a Document if the
content is text/html, since it can just as easily be parsed into a
DOM as XML can.
This, unfortunately, strays from the stated goal of specifying
"what works". I guess we should discuss at some point if we want to
keep that goal or not.
I'd propose that handling HTML should be an XHR 2.0 feature.
