Description
First off, great parser it makes my parsing life easier.
One thing I'm not clear on though is the update in 0.6 which ignores self-closing tags. This makes things less specific for specifying elements when parsing xml. Tags appearing below an unclosed tag are then determined to be decentants. I have this working with a combination of a double slash // or slash with contained star /*/.
This however is less specific and prone to error as it will find matching elements at deeper levels.
