Sigh, I just realized I miss understood what raw meant --it's just
relates to entity parsing. Why am I getting the feeling that there is
no way to prevent parsing of the body of an element? I pray this is not
the case, b/c it means back to the drawing board for something like the
13th time :-(. But if is the case, can anyone recommend another XML
parser then can do this?

Thanks,
T.
