Someone really ought to put this into the documentation!  Retrieve
manual page 6-17 specifically states

        "Note: UniVerse does not store the XML document unless you
execute the COMO ON statement prior to executing the RetrieVe statement.
If you execute COMO ON, the XML document is stored in the &COMO& file.
You can also direct the output to the &HOLD& file using SETPTR, or the
printer using LPTR."

XMLEXECUTE does what I want, true; but why doesn't the recommended,
documented, simple-to-implement method work properly too?
Then there's the UTF-8 vs iso8859-1 issue that Stuart Boydell identified
- another *gotcha* waiting for us.
Just tidy things up... there's no benefit to IBM in acting like
stRaining Data.
