XMLHttpRequest

I may be missing a way to do this, but since I am aware of a way I though I'd bring it up.
 
Should there not be a dedicated method to create a "Document" (XMLDOM) without having to submit a call first. 
 
E.g. [XMLHttpRequest].createDocument()
 
This way one could create a Document to send (as well as retrieve one) in a standard fashion.
