Description David Geary 2002-04-13 16:46:04 UTC 
I'm having a maddening time with the xml actions; sometimes they work fine, 
and other times they don't. For example, this produces no output:

<c:import var='xmlInput' url='c.tld'/>
<x:parse var='document' xmlText='${xmlInput}'/>

<x:forEach select="$document//tag"> 
   <x:out select='.'/>
</x:forEach>

For a simple XML file -- an address book with three addresses -- I can write 
code similar to the fragment above, and it works. With more complex xml files, 
like c.tld, it does not.
