It also works properly with my XML Library 
(http://www.sonsothunder.com/products/xmllib/xmllib.htm), just as you'd 
expect:
	
  put 
stsXML_GetNodeData("/x:xmpmeta/rdf:RDF/rdf:Description/dc:description/rdf:Alt/rdf:li/")
  --> Caption can be found here

And of course being transcript only, it can be used with Rev's XML DLL 
as well.

(Katir, you already have my library, but this is for anyone else 
interested...)
