In order to use the XMLApiHelper trait, you must define an outer-most XML
Elem that will wrap the response.
For example:
def createTag(in: NodeSeq): Elem = <foo_co_rest>{in}</foo_co_rest>
Now... if your stuff already does the wrapping in the outer-most Elem, you
can do:
def createTag(in: NodeSeq): Elem = in.flatMap{case e: Elem => List(e) case _
=> Nil}.firstOption getOrElse <blank/>
