Instead of doing text manipulation, can you use selectNode(...) to
find the <body> node, then use the dom4j to get the textual content?
You may then have to do some text manip to wrap some outter tags
around the content, though, as a well-formed XML doc has exactly
1 root element.
ie:
String stuff = "<new-root"> + bodyElement.getText() + "</new-root>";
Then, you have some (hopefully) well-formed XML you can parse again.
