What do you mean with 'owner document'? Is that my target (output) 
document? FYI: document points to 
chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul and that's not the one I want, 
I want browser.docShell.document right?

I use the following code to read the XML file:

     var request = new XMLHttpRequest()
     var handler = this;

     request.overrideMimeType("application/xml");
     request.open("GET", aURL);

     request.onreadystatechange = function() {
       if (request.readyState == 4) {
         var channel = 
request.channel.QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIHttpChannel);
         handler._XMLDocument = (channel.responseStatus == 200) ? 
request.responseXML : null;
       }
     }
     request.send(null);

but how do I get it to parse 'handler._XMLDocument'?

I found nsIDOMParser.idl and I wonder if I can/should use method 
parseFromBuffer to parse my XSLTransformed XML document to make it 
visible in a tab (document).
