RE: Techniques for transforming content like

Ah, no.  My message got "corrupted" inadvertently, so my problem came
out somewhat unclear.  The problem is that the contents of the "value"
element is not "<userid>98765</userid>", but the same string with the
XML-significant characters escaped to their character entities.

When I view the notes in the list, I see that my original note seems to
convey that, but in your response, the part that quotes my original note
seems to have "unescaped" that piece of the XML content.
