They FAIL in anything other than Gecko, though of course that could be for other reasons (but I don't believe so in this case). We have a few tests that exercise XMLDocument#load, e.g.: http://w3c-test.org/html/infrastructure/urls/resolving-urls/query-encoding/utf-8.html and other encoding tests. It doesn't look like we have registered results for those tests (running them, I'm guessing it's because they time out). Gecko passes, Blink and WebKit fail the XMLDocument#load with variants on "undefined is not a function". IE11 doesn't even get that far and trips over createDocument() with the third argument dropped (but since it doesn't have load() defined on XMLDocument, I don't see how it could pass). -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
