I've solved the problem by getting rid of the First_Child call at line
124. That resulted in an excessive amount of XML declarations being
written, but that was easily solved by adding

     Print_XML_Declaration => False

to my DOM.Core.Nodes.Write call. Oh and I didn't add the entire output
code to the pastebin example, so you wont be able to find the Write call
in there. Just trust me when I say that it works.  :o)

I still don't quite understand why First_Child would cause those issues
but at least I now have a functioning system, and it's probably also a
faster system, as I'm no longer wasting time returning the First_Child
to get rid of the XML declarations. Yay!
