I have one particular piece of data in an XML file, retrieved via HTTPService, 
that is being mistakenly being translated incorrectly. I'm using a Value Object 
and it's defined in there as a String datatype.

There's not a problem until the data contains something that can be interpreted 
as exponential notation, for example 1E01, which it thinks means the number 
"10" or anything starting with 1E.

At first I tried to fix it in the Value Object but I've looked at the debug 
information and this translation appears to be happening at the HTTPService end 
of things because the result event already shows the changed value. BTW, this 
same annoying thing happens in an Excel spreadsheet with the same data in it - 
Excel keeps wanting to interpret it as a Number type.

Anyone know how I can fix this problem and let the data come through unchanged?
