that does appear that it would work for XML stuffs but not for others ;)  i've had a few entries of similar nature that 
i've had to make over the years in several geneology programs... needless to say, 15+ years ago, we had to fake a 
marriage... over time, it has gotten better in those programs that i've used over the years... in most all cases, the 
problem has come down to the basic premise that children are born within a marriage and those writting the programs have 
forgotten about "wild sown seed" O:)
