You were right to be puzzled; I was incorrect, and I'm sorry if I wasted your time. It was a value type tag that was messing things up, but it wasn't a string value, because those are indeed omitted. It was another type (<i4>, specifically), and now I know that I can eliminate a value's tags simply by passing it as a string.
Thanks for prompting me to check this again, and clarify things by speaking out loud. Micky Micky1 wrote: > > Yes, that is quite puzzling.
