I'll confess it did take me a long tome to spot the error.  However, I tend 
to use Visual Studio to edit XML files.  I imagine its at the bottom of the 
food chain, but it does automatically put in the end tag so I'm not sure I 
would have spotted the error from that.

I would also like to believe that my schema would point the error out to me. 
Please don't go disillusioning me about that :-)
