Dave, I just tried this and it works fine for me:
<!--- Create XML Doc. ---> <cfxml variable="xmlData"> <dude> <name>Ben Nadel</name> </dude> </cfxml> <!--- Get XML String (Including <?xml string). ---> <cfset strXmlData = ToString( xmlData ) /> <!--- Check XML string. ---> #HtmlEditFormat( strXmlData )# <!--- Repase string from xmlDoc. ---> <cfxml variable="xmlCopy">#strXmlData#</cfxml> ,,,,, Shouldn't this thrown an error? The ToString() method returns this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <dude> <name>Ben Nadel</name> </dude> <style> Then, I pass that back into an CFXML tag (xmlCopy) and blam, no worries. ......................

You can't put a string containing a well-formed XML document within CFXML, because a well-formed XML document contains an XML declaration: <?xml version="1.0" ... ?> CFXML creates that for you, and won't work if you already have that. In this case, there's no need to use CFXML, because you already have a string you can feed directly to XMLParse if you want an XML document object, or to CFOUTPUT if you want to output the string.
