creating the xmlHTTPRequest is browser dependant, using it not. The
format you use to communicate is all to you, will be hard to create
one browser dependant :D

I guest most browser able to requeste data from a XML tree with the
dom api, but I don't do much ajax outside firefox.. If you can request
the xml tree with DOM, you are safe.
