If you can change the server program to set the HTTP response header
Content-Type: application/xml
or
Content-Type: text/xml
then you can use responseXML.

With IE if responseXML has not been populated that you might be able to use
   xmlhttp.responseXML.load(xmlhttp.responseBody)

With Mozilla and with Opera but not with IE you can even use responseXML 
by calling the overrideMimeType method:
<http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XMLHttpRequest#overrideMimeType.28.29>
