As of 7.3, all of profileSubmit, checkRequest, and displayBySerial should
support XML output of some kind, but it's not until 8.0 that checkRequest
gives us the serial number of the issued cert when it tells us that our
request succeeded, so if the goal is to avoid scraping Javascript, we have
to require 8.0.
