Just an update on the solution I found to this problem.  To get around 
this problem I was experiencing on Windows I ended up using URLEncode 
for all values that I added to the xml tree I created.  After using 
revXMLText to get the text file I used URLDecode on the final xml text 
and everything seems to be working fine.  I did have to replace "&" 
with "&" after doing this though.
