Witango-Talk: Parsing DOM Response for element by name

[Dave Machin]

I'm trying to parse a DOM reponse from a web service.  I'm looking to find a
particular element in the reponse.  I know the name of the element I need,
but I won't always know it's position in the response.

For example, I receive the following response:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
    <soapenv:Body>
        <GeteBayOfficialTimeResponse
xmlns="urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents">
            <Timestamp>2006-04-05T18:18:00.547Z</Timestamp>
            <Ack>Success</Ack>
            <Version>461</Version>
            <Build>e461_core_Unified_2718252_R1</Build>
        </GeteBayOfficialTimeResponse>
    </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

And I need the <timestamp> element.  I can access it by doing this:

<@elementvalue object="local$packageDOM"
element="root().child(1).child(1).child(1)">

But I'd like to be able to reference <timestamp> instead of having to know
the root/child relationships.

Is there an easy way to do this?
