Actually, Anthony, the "real" data isn't pets at all.  I was just abstracting 
it for the list.  But it's still relevant.  

I'm actually rendering a table, with rows (dogs) of cells (TextFields).  And a 
horizontal rule (the bird) may or may not appear before each row.  So 
traversing my nodes, if traversing the XML, it iterates to a <row>, render out 
those TextField instances, and if it's a <line>, render the line instance.

When I post, for better or worse, I usually try to simplify as much as possible 
the concepts I'm trying to find out about.  Thanks for your efforts.

have a sub element of dog in an element of dog, so two dots should work 
fine.

I'd never have a dog within a dog.  I can't believe I just typed that.
