You might try this:
$(data).find("item").each(function(i, item) {
stuff = $item.find('[nodeName="content:encoded"]')
...
Where 'data' is what comes back from the ajax call.
I couldn't find another way to get the data from a 'xx:yy' element. I
asked the question on the board here and this was the best answer I
got.
