Adam, thanks for this!  I guess you don't need much documentation 
for your code, as you can just look up the wealth of tutorials 
that have been written for Javascript's XML parser.

I have re-jigged one of std.xml's examples as follows - and it 
works!

If there were a vote (and there probably should be) I would 
suggest your code ought to replace std.xml.  How can D be taken 
seriously when it has major parts of the standard library broken?
