Title: Serialize (if possible) the xmlDocument before sending via xmlHttpReques...

...t due to an ie9 special behaviour on formatting xmlDoms's. IE9 removes all newlines from a xmlDocument and inserts some own newlines to pretty format the xml-Struture... Maybe this is a feature but in case of echo3 text syncs via xmlHttpRequest the format of a e.g. textArea is broken by this 'feature' of ie9

Based on varios discussions and some test's this might be the best way to prevent ie9 (nad maybe som upcomming releases of ie) to format xmlDocuments.
