Do you simply want to load an XML document and parse it with IE 6?

No -- I'm sending an HTTP request to a remote server, and I need to parse the
XML response that the server returns.

Then you don't need XMLHttpRequest, instead you can do e.g.
var xmlDocument = new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0');
xmlDocument.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xmlDocument.readyState === 4) {
alert(xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName('package').length);
}
};
xmlDocument.load('file.xml');

XMLHTTP and responseXML will only work if the server sends the XML with
the HTTP response header Content-Type with value text/xml or
application/xml.

And if it doesn't?
