it is typically empty if it is not...

you could also use responseText, and parse it yourself to make double sure:

 function mkXML(text) {
    if (typeof DOMParser != "undefined") {
        return (new DOMParser).parseFromString(text, "text/xml");
    } else if (typeof ActiveXObject != "undefined") {
        var doc = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument");
        doc.loadXML(text);
        return doc;
    } else {
        var url = "data:text/xml;charset=utf-8," + encodeURIComponent(text);
        var request = new XMLHttpRequest;
        request.open("GET", url, false);
        request.send(null);
        return request.responseXML;
    }
}
