For some reason I can’t get XML from the Facebook Flash API to parse into a proper XML document. I can do it with the old XMLDocument class, but that’s annoying. (FirstChild? Eeew.)

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<users_getInfo_response xmlns="http://api.facebook.com/1.0/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://api.facebook.com/1.0/ http://api.facebook.com/1.0/facebook.xsd" list="true">

  </user>
</users_getInfo_response>

```

What’s the deal? Do I have to set a namespace or something? I’ve never run into this issue before.
