Hi Malte!

To address the points in order:

1) Yes, that means no XML at the moment.  However, most browsers have 
built-in XML support.  So *in theory* it would be possible to use it. 
We would probably do that by adding support for LiveCode Builder to 
HTML5, then adding support for calling JavaScript code to LiveCode 
Builder, and then adding a LiveCode Builder library that uses the 
browser's XML support to provide the revxml extension's interface.  So, 
quite some way to go still...

2) Yes, POST *should* be supported in the LiveCode 8 stable release.  I 
can't guarantee it though.  It depends how far we get.  We plan to 
continue to improve the HTML5 engine on an ongoing basis!
