Hi Iain
There's a nodeIterator() method if you want to iterate through all child
nodes, text, elements, CDATA etc.
So if you modify your code to use nodeIterator() rather than
elementIterator() you should be fine.
elementIterator() just iterates through child Elements, nodeIterator()
iterates through all child Nodes. Hopefully you won't need to patch the code
to do what you need.
