It can also return text (XMLObj.responseText). One needs to specify XMLObj.setRequestHeader ("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

I don't believe so - i've never had to explicitly state that when using responseText under any browser i've tested with (Firefox 1.0+, IE 5.0+, Opera 8.0+, Konqueror 3.3+).

In agreement with Cerulean on responseText. The Content-type header can be set as listed to mimic HTML form submission if needed, perhaps to interoperate with scripts originally designed to work with regular forms (in the event that they depend on the header for some reason).
But DaWei is correct;IE requires different instantiation, in some or most versions at least.
