The this within the xmlOnload now points to the object you gave as scope to
the create method of delegate.
In order to access the xml object you would need to reference xmlDoc
instead.
The whole point of Delegate is to make sure mehods are called with the
correct scope. xmlOnLoad will be called with the scope it's defined on as
you call Delegate.create(this, xmlOnload).
I hope this explains it.
