In a chrome sidebar, a user initiated xmlHttpRequest is made in an iframe.  This
system worked in 1.3, but is apparently blocked in 1.4b.

 Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005

This might be related to a bug where you can't enumerate all event properties,
don't have the bug number at hand at the moment.

The XML fetch code is equivalent to this code:

We should test both in an iframe and in a chrome sidebar, if this test case works.
