Is E4X supposed to work in XUL scripts now? I tried to load the
following XUL file, and it didn't work (I tried it without type
attribute and from an extension; tested with 20040107 Firefox build).
Your example above (script in an HTML file) worked...

The XUL file:
----
<window
xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
<script type="application/x-javascript;e4x=1"><![CDATA[
var x = <t><u id="1">one</u><u id="2">two</u><u id="3">three</u></t>;
alert(x.toXMLString());
]]></script>
</window>
