TypeError: can't convert XML(src) to XML

    var e = document.getElementById('id_frame');
    e.src=url;
    if ( e ==  null ) {
      alert('no e');
    }
    var src=e.contentDocument;
    var doc=XML(src);

I was under the impression from reading the specification that support for DOM conversion to the XML type was optional, although was supported by e4x implementation on mozilla.
