Scope of DOMParser in different windows

[Michael Caines]

Is it safe to create new DOMParser instance in a popup window, get an
XML document from .parseFromString, call a function in the opener
window, and pass the XML doc as an argument of that function?

Are there any scoping/security issues here that I should be aware of?
(When closing the popup window, etc.) All of this would be done on a
single domain.

I also need to investigate this for:
MSIE : new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
and
Safari : document.implementation.createDocument
if anyone happens to know the situation with those.

Thank-you,
Mike Caines

I don't see a problem with Mozilla as far as I can tell from my use of
XML documents.
