Sounds great.
So after unregistering, the xml documents are loaded but not shown in
the browser or are not loaded at all?
Unfortunately I cant find any example how (and with what parameters)
to call UnregisterTypes() from an extension.

Is there a similar way to suppress only the internal XSLT handling?

Ok, with XHR I can send a request and use that plaintext version of
the requested XML document, thats fine.
Now I need the XSL file. Do I have to parse the XML file and find and
follow (request) the link to the XSL file myself or is there a more
simple way to get the XSLT instructions?

But with XMLHttpRequest.responseXML there is a parsed and DOMed
version, too.
So this is not really perfect for performance, right?
