I've never heard of such a behaviour, and cannot reproduce it. Can you
show some example that demonstrates the behaviour?

On it's own, the XML parser doens't display any text. It can't be
to_xml, either, since that would have produced <monty>...</monty>. 
So how did you get that output?

Regards,
Martin
