Thanks Michael,
I don't see anything that begin with XML or at least it shouldn't. 
And I just want to copy/merge the document that is below (breadcrumb.xml)
To another xml document so that it's a DIRECT copy. Meaning I want it to end
up looking the same.
So for example.
If Breadcrumb.xml looks like this
<ensemble>
	<theater>
		<instrument type="BreadCrumb" id="PageBreadCrumb">
			<!-- This App is the bread crumb of the page. -->
			<Breadcrumb>
				<Topic title="Home" link="/">
					<Topic title="Services"
link="/services">
						<Topic title="Content
Management" link="/services/content-management"/>
					</Topic>
				</Topic>
			</Breadcrumb>
		</instrument>
	</theater>
</ensemble>

And DocumentB.xml looks like this
<ensemble>
	<theater>
		<performance link="/Some/Link" topic="/services"
lang="en-US" title="My Music" ver="1.0" lastmod="6/30/2004T12:00:00:00">
			<!-- Page Info  -->
			<FriendlyName>Friendlyname here</FriendlyName>
			<Activate date="2000-01-15T12:00:00"/>
			<Expires date="2005-01-15T12:00:00"/>
			<Creator>John Hamman</Creator>
			<MetaData name="copyright" value="Copyright 2004"/>
			<Description><![CDATA[Blah Blah
Blah]]></Description>
			<Keywords>Blah Blah Blah</Keywords>
			<Custom name="CssName"><![CDATA[IA]]></Custom>
		</performance>
	</theater>
</ensemble>

Then the OUTPUT will be a Merged XML file that looks like this.
<ensemble>
	<theater>
		<performance link="/Some/Link" topic="/services"
lang="en-US" title="My Music" ver="1.0" lastmod="6/30/2004T12:00:00:00">
			<!-- Page Info  -->
			<FriendlyName>Friendlyname here</FriendlyName>
			<Activate date="2000-01-15T12:00:00"/>
			<Expires date="2005-01-15T12:00:00"/>
			<Creator>John Hamman</Creator>
			<MetaData name="copyright" value="Copyright 2004"/>
			<Description><![CDATA[Blah Blah
Blah]]></Description>
			<Keywords>Blah Blah Blah</Keywords>
			<Custom name="CssName"><![CDATA[IA]]></Custom>
		</performance>
<instruments>
			<instrument type="BreadCrumb" id="PageBreadCrumb">
			<!-- This App is the bread crumb of the page. -->
			<Breadcrumb>
				<Topic title="Home" link="/">
					<Topic title="Services"
link="/services">
						<Topic title="Content
Management" link="/services/content-management"/>
					</Topic>
				</Topic>
			</Breadcrumb>
		</instrument>
		</instruments>
	</theater>
</ensemble>

Without knowing what the other document looks like, or what you want the
result to look like, it's very hard to advise you.

2 observations on your XML:

(a) Names beginning "xml" (in any case combination), like XmlSite, should
not be used because they are reserved for future standardisation

(b) The value of xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation is supposed to be a URI. The
value "H:\Web
Clients\WWWRoot\Ithinkdesigns\XmlSite\_data\Performance.xsd" is not a URI,
it is a Windows filename. This essentially locks you into Microsoft
products, which don't enforce the standard in this area.
