I don't know if the revXML DLL handles this kind of thing... if your files
aren't too large, you may wish to try my all-Transcript XML library, which
handles these without issue. If you're interested, contact me off-list as
I'm getting ready to release a major upgrade to the library (2.0) which
isn't available from my web site yet (only 1.1.7 is available publicly).
