Maciej, Maybe it's OK for the XHR spec itself to not require XML support, but instead have other higher-level document format specs such as HTML5 and/or some future version of SVG require that implementations support not only XHR but also XML over XHR. Within the XHR spec itself, perhaps there could be an informative comment that indicates that there is an expectation that, when used with languages such as HTML or SVG, XML support would be included.

I don't necessarily agree with that, I can see that non-XML UAs may
still want to support it only for transmitting text. But I think
there should be a conformance class that does include the XML
support, even if the baseline conforming implementation doesn't.
