Whoa-- using this I actually get back the text I really want, which is
not at all what I expected.  I thought I'd get an XML representation of
the node.

Whoa indeed. Am I confused, or...confused? wait a second...so what you
have is, umm, say

  var nodes = soapResponse.message.getElementsByTagName("item");
  var ser=new XMLSerializer();
  var res="";
  for (var i = 0;i < nodes.length;i++) {
     res+= ser.serializeToString(nodes[i]);
     }
  alert(res);

and the result does not contain the "<item..>" tags? This I don't get.
Can you try

  var nodes = soapResponse.message.getElementsByTagName("item");
  var ser=new XMLSerializer();
  var res="";
  for (var i = 0;i < nodes.length;i++) {
     var node=nodes[i];
     res+= node.nodeName+":"+node.nodeType+":"+node.nodeValue+":"+ser.serializeToString(node)+"\n";
     }
  alert(res);

puzzled,puzzled,puzzled.
