	This is a work around function to replace previous function of the same name that was provided by: http://www.openjs.com/scripts/xml_parser/
	
	The old version failed under IE7 and had to be replaced quickly in production enviroment
	
	This function is the result of the last minute work around.  More bugs are expected, but hopefully this suffices for now
	
	DEPENDS ON : xml2json.js
