var myXml:XML =
<parent>
<Books>
<Book name="something1" />
<Books>
<Book name="something1" />
<someotherelements/>
<Book name="something2" />
<Book name="something3" />
</Books>
<Book name="something2" />
<Book name="something3" />
<someotherelements/>
</Books>
<someotherelements/>
</parent>;
My point is that <Book> element can be at any level and as deep. And it is
an element.
