Perhaps I'm missing something -- I don't know that much about JS and less about Ajax -- but these error messages look like they're exactly right to me. In the first case, you're starting element foo, then element bar, then ending element foo before you end the child element bar. That's ill-formed XML, and one way of describing that is as an "XML tag name mismatch." In the second case, you've got a start element tag but no end element tag, so the XML parser would reach the end of the evaluated document without the close to element foo and you'd get exactly what you did get -- "unexpected end of XML source."
I wonder about what Frank wrote -- his example would have been well-formed XML, but its root element was html, so it wouldn't have been valid in the place in the document where it was being evaluated because the DTD for HTML and/or XHTML only allows a single html root element, not a child html element under that. I'm not sure if eval is supposed to be producing an entire page of html separate from the surrounding document, but it doesn't look that way since you can also eval fragments and code which doesn't include any tags at all. If you're not supposed to be evaluating an entirely separate page, I would guess that you would need to eval the code which needs to appear in the head section of the document and the code which needs to appear in the body separately. Not sure if that makes sense -- still waking up this morning. Hope it helps.
