>> It's almost like it's the parser or something. Well, it seems what you're posting is an abstraction of the real code and/or the real XML in your project (and good for you - too many [I won't name names] post unnecessary code too often here)- so there must be some difference in your actual code or actual XML which is causing the issue. I would investigate that. If you try the code we posted which works, and it works for you, then you'll see it's not anything funky like that. Have you tried just the code samples we posted? They should work fine.
