For what it's worth I will strongly argue that Firefox should return 
null (assuming the spec says so). I can't say it bothers me that 
.responseXML.getElementById fails, it isn't hard for the author to 
address. If authors don't address it because they expect to always get a 
document, then the above will throw which seems like desired behaviour.
