*Thanks for the help Actually, it really seems to be parseXML that eats part of the node. Here is string (perfectly consistent with the svg document) obtained with printNode :

The problem is almost certainly printNode and not parseXML, printNode is a very limited serialiser - look at what it outputs and you'll see it's often not right if namespaces are involved. I'd look more at the printNode than the parseXML (although that also isn't perfect) Some full documents that fail would allow us to help more I'm sure.
