Hi Joern, No, this is not possible. The reason for this goes down to how XML is parsed - basically, the document is *always* disassembled to its component pieces on the way in, so if you want part of the text back as XML you have to actively reassemble it.
The best you could do would be to use a DOM Element representation for <someElement>. That would allow you to have any kind of XML content for the element, and when you wanted the XML as text you'd be able to get it by serializing the DOM Element. - Dennis Dennis M.
