There is no element named 'xml' in HTML 4 or XHTML 1. Only IE/Windows 
supports such an element for so called XML data islands.

With other browsers if you want to use XML data you can use JavaScript 
and XMLHttpRequest to load the data. Since IE 7 IE also supports that, 
with earlier versions you can use an ActiveXObject.

That way you can request application/xml or text/xml content and the 
XMLHttpRequest object loads and parses that and exposes a responseXML 
property with an XML DOM document.
