I watched a demo yesterday that had the XSS request something
(probably an image) from a url which had metasploit listening on it.
Metasploit then delivered a remote code execution exploit which
dropped meterpreter on the client. Game over.

I think that you may be looking for a more generic attack but this is
a good start as you could have a set of exploits lined up then either
use some kind of js checking to try to work out which browser is in
use and chose the correct exploit or you could just run through all of
them till one matches.
