Like you, I was pointing out the Tag nesting not the indentation. He didnt
have a <Books> Element enclosing everything else which I found strange.

I'm not entirely sure what the OP is after and it would not suprise me if
they were perhaps a little confused regarding structure and formation. I
guess if they come back we might find out.
