Well done!

This will definitely come in handy.

The only issue here is that instead of

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<book>
  &lt;title&gt;Hyperion&lt;/title&gt;
  <author birthdate="1948-04-04">Dan Simmons</author>
</book>

it's really creating

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<book>
  &lt;title&gt;Hyperion
  <author birthdate="1948-04-04">Dan Simmons</author>
  &lt;/title&gt;
</book>

Anyone else notice this? Or better yet have an idea for a fix? Thank you very much!
