Hi Matt, I agree, XML support is by far not Prototype's strongest point. The fact is, most of the people contributing code to Prototype avoid XML as much as possible, mainly because it's slow to parse an generally not very friendly to use (at, least, that's why I avoid it).
I think we'd all welcome any patch that allowed for better XML handling, as long as it doesn't hinder the framework's general performance or adds excessive bloat. Depending on what's required, this could also be a good candidate for a plugin. Please feel free to bring up the subject (and any suggestion you might have) to the core mailing list.
