That problem right there plagued my XML work a few weeks ago. I ended up
doing it the "wrong" way and putting a CSV list in the tag. I didn't have
time to find/rewrite an XML parser to do that job, even though it's within
spec. It would be to my great advantage is one was located or built - I'm
certain I'm not the only one.

Thanks,
