No, I am pretty sure that with Mozilla 1.0 and later that parsererror 
root element is in the namespace 
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/xml/parsererror.xml e.g. if you have

var xmlDocument = new DOMParser().parseFromString('<gods>', 
'application/xml');
alert(
xmlDocument.documentElement.tagName + '\r\n' + 
xmlDocument.documentElement.namespaceURI);

it shows

parsererror
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/xml/parsererror.xml

I have tested that now with Firefox 1.5.0.3 but I am pretty sure that 
there is no difference in earlier releases.
