Thanks! This is far more elegant than my php script that calls the api
but uses the same parameters so I assume it's going to return the same
xml format.

It just seems so strange that using the API and using special:export
(which is also what the full xml dumps look like) return two different
xml structures. I figured there was some obvious fix that I was
missing. :)
