[[
Otherwise, let document be a document that represents the result of parsing the
response entity body following the rules set forth in the XML specifications.
If that fails (unsupported character encoding, namespace well-formedness error,
etc.), return null. [XML] [XMLNS]
]]

Should this (step 5) return an XMLDocument instead of a Document?

See for example the DOMParsing specification, which states that we should
return an XMLDocument if the MIME type is an XML one:
