Different browsers handle mal-formed XML files in a different way.
There seems to be no "browser independence" provided by the jQUery.ajax() method
Note that in particular it returns "success" even for badly-formed XML!!
So, options are:
a) update myO_ajax() with browser-specific error handling
b) continue to ignore the errors (and perhaps add DTD validation "on server side")
c) find some way to invoke DTD validation from inside myO
