Re: write out xml *with* tags for data island inside

The hack that willl allow xml data islands to work in both IE and
Mozilla is to add a style attribute to the xml element with the
display set to "none"...

so:

<xml id="dataisland" style="display:none">
....
</xml>

coupled with:

document.getElementById('dataisland').innerHTML

will give you a copy of everything contained within the start and end
xml element.

Cheers :)
