No, no, I don't expect you to! The author of the component acknowledges that it
is broken but doesn't seem inclined to change it. It was free anyway so I think
legal action is probably a bit harsh!
I'll try what you suggest but, as you mention, I'm going to hit a problem with
xmlNodeDumpOutput (or <something>) being private. I'll write the code and
'prove' it first though.
Thanks again,
