Jonas already mentioned it in another e-mail and this feature was indeed planned (by me 8-)) for XMLHttpRequest level 2. responseText already follows text/html rules for encoding detection etc. but for parsing we probably need to state that it needs to run with support for scripting disabled which affects how <noscript> is parsed etc. I'm wondering if we should do it like that or have scripts not run and parse <noscript> as if scripting was enabled. (I'm not sure whether HTML 5 has an option for the latter, but that's for instance how html5lib currently works.)
Any opinions on this? Anything else I should pay attention too when adding this feature?
