Well, it looks like that kind of shut down the conversation. Did you ever 
get it working?

I hate to say it, and I'm not a complete expert on this topic, but I would 
doubt that @ and . would be valid for a tag in XML. Your second XML uses 
it, and it seems to be causing a problem. They can be inside of a pair of 
tags I'm sure, but using them as the name of the tag seems bad. You could 
use them as an attribute value in a tag I bet, like this:

<person id='trevyn at esourcehome.com'>
...
</person>

Anyway, good luck. In the future, you'll probably get better results if 
you don't reply rudely to people who are trying to answer a question you 
asked. They're not getting anything out of it, so you might as well be 
nice to people who are helping you for free, especially if you want help 
in the future. I guess I assumed that was common sense and normal 
etiquette, but perhaps I was wrong.

If we indeed are all stupid, do you have a reference for an XML spec that 
says that @ and . are allowed in tag names, so we can educate ourselves?

Thanks,
Mac
