	Am I the only person that has come to the conclusion that XML Data
Islands are a really bad idea? I hope MS see it the same way, and deprecate
them in favour of namespaces instead.

	As an answer to your question, you have to do something with them in
Javascript (or heaven forbid: vbscript). I don't know the IE object model
well enough to know if you can save them to disk, but I'm sure you can
probably send them back to the server if you really want to.
