Thanks, Dean. This is the kind of thing I was looking for, if more
convoluted than I was expecting (I'm using DOM). One reason I didn't
find it on my own is that XMLScanner's methods aren't documented.
I assume it's just an oversight. Can someone fix it? Even if the
XMLScanner documentation just listed members with no explanation
whatever it would help.
