I know - but I don't want to do this. I have a mixed-namespace
xml document, with html interpretable by a web browser, and
cml molecular structures. I can use javascript within this 
document to access the cml structure as a tree of DOM nodes.

If I could pass this straight to a Jmol instance, it wouldn't
need to parse the XML - it would already be parsed into nodes
and would be directly manipulable.

I could, I suppose, once I've retrieved the relevant cml
node, use javascript to traverse the entire cml
subtree and write out a string of cml to pass to loadInline, but 
that seems a very roundabout way to do things.

I can't have the cml in my document as a javascript string
literal because the entire document is generated by xslt, so 
I have no control over whitespace (including newline) output.
