Quartz Composition retrieve XML file

I'm trying to build a Quartz Composition that uses an XML file as a data source. What I need is similar to the RSS patch, but retrieving arbitrary XML. I've tried the JavaScript patch, but it appears not to support the

For example, if I create a JavaScript patch with this script:

req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.onreadystatechange = processReqChange;
req.open("GET", url, true);
req.send(null);

I get the error "Can't find variable: XMLHttpRequest".

I know that I could write a Cocoa app that retrieves the XML and passes it into Quartz to render, but that would mean that my composition can't run as a screen saver, in QuickTime, etc., wherever a Quartz Composition can run. And it'd also make the development loop slower (sigh) having to bounce between QC and IB.

Any suggestions?
