Hi Tim,

Thanks for the heads up. I have a geocoder that returns XML in addition 
to other formats and needed to parse it. I got a headache trying to 
figure out how to get my results out of the parsed document and switched 
to another format that was easy to parse into an array of objects.

So I'm good.

WRT the documentation, you might want to add a note to it or mark it as 
deprecated or whatever.

Thanks,
   -Steve
