Comment (by majelbstoat):

 If you're going to parse a response in JS, you might want to consider JSON
 as your transfer format.  It is possible to parse XML, but far easier to
 parse JSON.  (One line in fact, if you just eval it).  If security is a
 concern, I'm sure jQuery has JSON parsing functionality - Prototype
 certainly does. And if the WordPress server is running PHP 5.2, there is a
 built-in JSON extension for creating it as well...
