No. responseXML can only be Document. HTMLDocument no longer exists (it has
been merged with Document). XMLDocument is only returned by the
document.createDocument() API. As Anne said, "HTML document" and "XML document"
are different concepts.

Currently createElement('div') always produces an HTMLDivElement, regardless of
the document.
