The dojo.io upload using the formNode with a return type of "text/xml" doesn't send the request...

In version 0.3.1 the dojo.io.bind upload using the formNode property with a return type of "text/xml" doesn't send the request from the browser for either firefox 1.5.0.5 or ie 6.0.29. It works for "text/javascript" and "text/plain".

This can be reproduced by using the ​http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/tests/io/test_IframeIO.html example and just change the mimetype from "text/javascript" to "text/xml". I used Live HTTP headers to verify this fact.

Altered example to show reproducible test case

IframeIO does not support a text/xml return type because there is no good cross-browser way to get the XML document out from an iframe. There is a note about text/xml not being supported in this page:

Perhaps though, what we should fix is how to detect that dojo.io.bind() cannot fulfill the request (right now it will just silently not call IframeTransport?'s bind() method, and just return the dojo.io.Request object). It would be good to at least let the caller know that the bind request is not going to happen.

(In [5931]) Fixes #1169: now if a transport for a dojo.io.bind() request cannot handle the request, the error callback is called.
