Wrong newsgroup (see headers).

Which callback do you mean?  Assuming onreadystatechange, then this 
sounds like a bug.  It might even be fixed -- what version of which 
browser were you testing?

Try tomorrow's trunk or 1.8 branch firefox builds for a fix to the E4X 
XML literal problem; it's fixed in both trees.
