     <blah1>
             Text<blah2>more</blah2>text.
     </blah>

Just wondering if this is a correct xml data structure.  Cause I haven't
seen somthing like this before.  Or is this an output from phpXML?  Can you
be a little bit more clear on this because i haven't encountered major
problems from phpXML except when I start using complex XPath.

I can easily write an xmlfile and read from an xmlfile but haven't tested
the replace and delete node.

I'm not sure that this actually solves the stated problem though as I think
I am right in saying that this is a fix that goes into get_file().
Therefore if the datastructure can't describe "Before<tag>Middle</tag>End",
then it's not going to be able to print it.

This fix will cope with usage of the object that make calls to
set_content("address","Some text <B>that</B> contains some markup.").  But
if the xml file that you read in already has "Some text <B>that</B> contains
some markup." then the class is going to loose this structure in the parse.

Basically phpxml's internal datastructure is lossy.  You can't read to
object and write back out to file and have two logically identical files.
Ideally it ought to be.

We need a more complete fix for this in the constructor or load_from_file
function I think....
