[BangPypers] Handling unicode characters in xml.dom

[Anand Balachandran Pillai]

Is the garbage CDATA or attribute data ?

CDATA is like <elem>text</elem> and attribute
is <elem attr="value" />

Can you pase the relevant part of the XML file here or if it is
small enough, the complete XML file ? Send it directly to me
since the list removes attachments.
