I was wondering, is QWebElement meant to parse XML documents properly?
Because I tried loading into a QWebPage  a URL that returns XML
instead of HTML (a podcast rss feed)
and thought I could use the WebKit class to load and parse the XML.

The document structure seems to be there, but whenever I call
"toPlainText()" on any of those QWebElements,
I get an empty string. Is that a webkit bug?
