If it helps, I wrote a little UDF for this...can't guarantee it'll be
100% on all of the time, I scrawled it out quickly for my own quick
use a while back.
<cffunction name="prettyXml" returnType="string" output="false">
<cfargument name="xmlNode">
<cfargument name="depth" default="0">
<cfset var result = "" />
<cfset result = repeatString(chr(9), arguments.depth) &
"<#arguments.xmlNode.xmlName#" />
<cfloop collection="#arguments.xmlNode.xmlAttributes#" item="i">
<cfset result = result & "
#i#=""#arguments.xmlNode.xmlAttributes[i]#""">
</cfloop>
<cfif not len(arguments.xmlNode.xmlText) and not
arrayLen(arguments.xmlNode.xmlChildren)>
<cfset result = result & " /">
</cfif>
<cfset result = result & ">" />
<cfif len(trim(arguments.xmlNode.xmlText))>
<cfset result = result & chr(10) & repeatString(chr(9),
arguments.depth + 1) & htmlEditFormat(arguments.xmlNode.xmlText) &
chr(10) />
<cfelse>
<cfset result = result & chr(10) />
</cfif>
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(arguments.xmlNode.xmlChildren)#"
index="i">
<cfset result = result &
prettyXml(arguments.xmlNode.xmlChildren[i],
arguments.depth + 1) />
</cfloop>
<cfif len(arguments.xmlNode.xmlText) or
arrayLen(arguments.xmlNode.xmlChildren)>
<cfset result = result & repeatString(chr(9), arguments.depth) &
"</#arguments.xmlNode.xmlName#>" & chr(10) />
</cfif>
<cfreturn result />
</cffunction>
