Cardinal from IRC answered my question. It turns out that when you indent
your childs with tabs, it sees those tabs as cdata of the root element. I
had the following XML file:
<settings>
<dbname>sampleDBName</dbname>
<dbuser>sampleUser</dbuser>
<dbhost>localhost</dbhost>
</settings>
The tabs in front of the child elements were treated as CDATA of the
<settings> root node.
