Well, does any of the existing implementations support parsing HTML and returning an XML DOM? And why would you want to do that in the first place? If we start adding new things to the spec, then please let's try not to add hacks, but to define good new APIs. Setting the headers comes to mind, or the ability to retrieve binary content...
