Failing tests in Internet Explorer 11 on Win 8.1

[marcjansen]

Many tests currently fail for me in IE 11 (Win 8.1). Details:

• [ ] Control/SLDSelect.html
  • 3 tests with message "argument could not be converted to an XML node" (AFAICT from our xml_eq-method)
• [ ] Events/featureclick.html
  • both tests fail
• [ ] Format/ArcXML.html
  • all write() tests fail
• [ ] Format/OSM.html
  • the serialize() test fails
• [x] Format/SLD/v1_0_0_GeoServer.html (fixed with #1239)
  • the roundtrip test fails with the "argument could not be converted to an XML node" error from above
• [ ] Format/WCSDescribeCoverage.html
  • read() fails with an error like "cannot read property 'documentElement' of undefined or null"
• [ ] Format/WMC.html
  • write() fails
• [ ] Format/CSWGetDomain/v2_0_2.html
  • write() fails
• [ ] Format/CSWGetRecords/v2_0_2.html
  • write() fails
• [ ] Format/XML.html
  • write() fails
• [ ] Layer/Bing.html
  • attribution test fails with an error like "cannot read property 'indexOf' of undefined or null"
• [ ] Protocol/WFS.html
  • filterDelete test: "cannot read property 'documentElement' of undefined or null"

I think that a change like the one outlined below is needed for SLD:

http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.13.1/examples/osm.html doesn't work in Edge. It shows pink tiles and there are no network errors or console messages. The only exception relates to "'ActiveXObject' is not defined" when looking for google gears factory.
