[jQuery] Re: A different approach to parsing XML, and a little help on processing attributes more efficiently

[augur]

This is better. The arrays are much more efficient, and I cut the code
by more than half. I know, I know JSON, I will get there, this is
teaching me way more though. I still would like to be able to
determine my level of nesting abstractly, and also getting out non-
standard attributes.

BTW processed over 50K lines in ~5seconds no errors.
