You are right, it sounds painful to me, too.
Preventing the normal XML handling is the point, I think.
(For showing the result of my XSL transformation maybe I can do some
coding/transformation so that I dont need FF's XML handling at that
point.)

The XMLHttpRequest object sounds interesting... maybe it fits my needs
in a script together with suppressing the normal XML loading at all.

Do you know how to do that suppressing of normal XML handling?
Or at least suppressing the XSLT handling? (I asked that in the xslt
group, but there is no fast answering boris)
Is it possible via an extension or is more deeper FF hacking
necessary?
