Their sample script does enstantiate the MSXML DOM.
So may still be heavyweight... I suppose you could just feed the XML into a
string, but then you still have to parse it with JAWS string functions which
would not be a lot of fun.
As for the JAWS cursor and the OSM, Windows 8 is changing the display driver
again. My take from the latest Eric Damery podcast is its more limited than
ever. Bbut then again, day to day uses may not notice a lot of difference.

Oh, I should have red further, this is already using the MSXML DOM, so no need
to create a new instance.
