Can Selenium IDE verify text on an XML page

问题:

I have an application that for one of its pages returns an XML string (type text/xml). The result is returned "inline" so that when I load that page in Firefox I see the XML string.

I want to use the Selenium IDE plugin in Firefox to verify that some text is present on this page. However, when I try to do this with the VerifyTextPresent command I get the error Couldn't access document.body. Is this HTML page fully loaded?.

Is it even possible to do this kind of check in Selenium on XML output? If so, how?

Here is a snippet of what the page produces:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<alerts time_generated="2011-01-20 20:34:01" version="2.00" time_generated_epoch="1295584441">
  <alert>
    <client_updates/>
    <contact_firstname>Brian</contact_firstname>
    ...

Selenium does not natively support verifying text present in an XML page. However, there is an assertTextPresentXML extension available.
