Joe,
Doesn't an xml tag also have to have either a value or an attribute?
Thus
<contact>
<foo />
</contact>
Isn't actually valid?

Hey Dan,
An XML document needs to have a single root node...this is valid XML:
<contact>
<address2 />
<foo1 />
<foo2 />
</contact>
While this is not:
<address2 />
<foo1 />
<foo2 />
If that's not the issue, can you reply and post an example invalid file?
Thanks,
Joe
