Thanks for the help guys!
Err Wendell, the "xml" result is from an ADODB Persisted XML recordset.
Interesting mistake on Microsoft part, eh?  Here is a sample:


- <xml xmlns:s="uuid:BDC6E3F0-6DA3-11d1-A2A3-00AA00C14882"
xmlns:dt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882"
xmlns:rs="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:rowset" xmlns:z="#RowsetSchema">
- <s:Schema id="RowsetSchema">
- <s:ElementType name="row" content="eltOnly">
- <s:AttributeType name="count" rs:number="1">
  <s:datatype dt:type="int" dt:maxLength="4" rs:precision="1"
rs:fixedlength="true" rs:maybenull="false" />
  </s:AttributeType>
- <s:AttributeType name="pagename" rs:number="2" rs:writeunknown="true">
  <s:datatype dt:type="string" rs:dbtype="str" dt:maxLength="22"
rs:fixedlength="true" rs:maybenull="false" />
  </s:AttributeType>
- <s:AttributeType name="thedate" rs:number="3" rs:nullable="true">
  <s:datatype dt:type="string" rs:dbtype="str" dt:maxLength="8"
rs:fixedlength="true" />
  </s:AttributeType>
  <s:extends type="rs:rowbase" />
  </s:ElementType>
  </s:Schema>
- <rs:data>
  <z:row count="9" pagename="/default.asp" thedate="20031214" />
  <z:row count="3" pagename="/thankyou.asp" thedate="20031214" />
  <z:row count="4" pagename="/freesubmission.asp" thedate="20031214" />
  <z:row count="2" pagename="/ourcommitment.asp" thedate="20031214" />
  <z:row count="2" pagename="/websitemarketing.asp" thedate="20031214" />
  <z:row count="2" pagename="/freerankingreport.asp" thedate="20031214" />
  <z:row count="1" pagename="/securitypolicy.asp" thedate="20031214" />
  <z:row count="3" pagename="/websitemarketing.asp" thedate="20031213" />
  <z:row count="2" pagename="/freerankingreport.asp" thedate="20031213" />
  <z:row count="4" pagename="/thankyou.asp" thedate="20031213" />
  <z:row count="4" pagename="/freesubmission.asp" thedate="20031213" />
  <z:row count="5" pagename="/default.asp" thedate="20031213" />
  <z:row count="1" pagename="/ourcommitment.asp" thedate="20031213" />
  </rs:data>
  </xml>
