Also check out CFX_XMLParser it doesn't use the MSXML parser, written in
Java is typically outperforms the MSXML parser in ColdFusion.

The syntax looked pretty good to me, so I can't help you there.  But I
can suggest a more CF-friendly way to do things perhaps.  Take a look at
this custom tag from SiteObjects so soXML.

http://www.siteobjects.com/pages/soxmloverview.cfm

It acts as an easy interface between CF and the MSXML parser.  It
supports going to/from CF,XML, and XMLDOM and also supports XSLT
transformations.  The tag is free and unencrypted and appears to take
some of the work out of using XML.  And it makes it so you don't have to
call the MS COM object directly, which I'm always in favor of.
