No laughs anymore huh?

The problem was with the @ symbol, and I thought it was so obvious that my comments would be funny. Props to Mac.

Well, it looks like that kind of shut down the conversation. Did you ever get it working?

I hate to say it, and I'm not a complete expert on this topic, but I would doubt that @ and . would be valid for a tag in XML. Your second XML uses it, and it seems to be causing a problem. They can be inside of a pair of tags I'm sure, but using them as the name of the tag seems bad. You could use them as an attribute value in a tag I bet, like this:

<person id='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'>
...
</person>

Anyway, good luck. In the future, you'll probably get better results if you don't reply rudely to people who are trying to answer a question you asked. They're not getting anything out of it, so you might as well be nice to people who are helping you for free, especially if you want help in the future. I guess I assumed that was common sense and normal etiquette, but perhaps I was wrong.

If we indeed are all stupid, do you have a reference for an XML spec that says that @ and . are allowed in tag names, so we can educate ourselves?

Thanks,
Mac

Trevyn, I'm not sure you can use an '@' or a '.' in an xml tag, can
you? I've never even tried it. That's the first thing I'd change.

He's right.  You can't use an email address as a tag.
