Well I've made a signifigant improvement to this function, and it's now the parsing operation is only something like 26 lines. It works flawlessly (so far) for XML that does not have repeat element names on the same level. Which seems to be bad form anyway, using similar element names and distinguishing them with attributes.
I'd still like the code to work with XML that did have similarly named elements in the same node level.. can you see anything in my DOMXML calls that might indicate the problem?
