use two dots; yet, IMHO that is poorly structured data.
If you have any say to how the data should be formatted, how about using:
<pets>
<pet type="dog" name="rover"/>
<pet type="cat" name="felix" />
<pet type="bunny" name="thumper"/>
<pet type="snake" name="charlie" etc="etc.." />
<!-- etc -->
</pets>
or if each absolutely must have large child elements, why not:
<pets>
<pet>
<type>dog</type>
<nom>rover</nom>
<etc>you get the point?</etc>
</pet>
<pet>
<type>cat</type>
<nom>felix</nom>
<etc>but this increases bandwidth usage</etc>
</pet>
</pets>

Thanks for replying Jason. I'd do that, but I'm also trying to preserve the
order in which things occur, like given this xml...
<pets>
<dog/>
<cat/>
<snake/>
<dog/>
<dog/>
<ant/>
<bird/>
<dog/>
</pets>
...then, I'd traverse the resulting XMLList, and using a switch statement,
render things a certain way on the stage, but keeping the order.
So, in other words, only the dog and bird tags should render, and in order that
they occur.

Have you tried:
myXMLListDogs:XMLList = pets..dog
myXMLListBirds:XMLList = pets..bird
