Not possible, obviously, so I have to assume this is a build issue.

That code isn't materially different than what I use all over, so it isn't
the code. What do you see if you trace it? The debugger should be able to
get into Xerces, and see that it's got a DOMElement inside the marshalling
code, so when does it become invalid?

Well, I don't know what those are and plugging in a different set is just
never going to work, so I don't think it's worth worrying about.

I would start by rebuilding every inch of everything.
