Yeah, sure, I have that all the time. The weird thing is that even when 
using Ctrl+F5, my browser (Firefox) won't reload the XML feed. You'll 
have to go to xiph.org/flac/feeds/feed.xml, refresh the feed there with 
(Ctrl+)F5, to get the new news in the browser cache, then it will show up.

I don't know how long caches are usually held, but just for the record, 
that news item of Sony shows up here.

Ah yes, thats it.

Have you tried replacing the "GET" here:

	  xhttp.open("GET",dname,false);
	  xhttp.send("");
	  return xhttp.responseXML;

with a "POST" operation instead? See the "GET or POST?"
section of this
page:

Right, I didn't know about that. Here's a patch, it seems to work, but 
I'm not really sure. With this patch, there seems to be no caching, but 
when I reverted it, it worked too. I really don't understand Firefox 
caching.

Well, anyway, a few sources on the internet say this should work and I 
don't see a way this might break anything.
