<canvas>

<simplelayout axis="y" spacing="10"/>

  <dataset name="myData">
    <myXML>
      <person>
        <firstName>Homer</firstName>
        <lastName>Simpson</lastName>

assertEquals(Frisco Del Rosario, OpenLaszlo tester)

see the xpathQuery function of the datapointer class, an example  
usage being as in:

canvas.datasets['name'].getPointer().xpathQuery('elem/elem/text()');
