Hi Tracy,
When I do a trace as you indicated. I see this:
<companies>
<company name="Macrosoft">
<contact>
<displayName>Bill Bates</displayName>
</contact>
<contact>
<displayName>Mark Smith</displayName>
</contact>
</company>
<company name="Oracle Corporation">
<contact>
<displayName>Larry Jobs</displayName>
</contact>
</company>
</companies>
And this is what I see when my tree is rendered also.
