maxml strange bugs???

Is it me or is the pub.maxml module completely broken ?

I have this piece of code:

						'update xml file and add record
						Local temp_xml:xmlDocument = New xmlDocument
						Local temp_node:xmlNode
						
						temp_xml.load("history.xml")
						
						If temp_xml <> Null
							'add the record
							temp_node = temp_xml.root().addnode("peer")
							temp_node.value = nname
							
							'save teh xml file
							temp_xml.save("history.xml");
							temp_xml = Null
						End If

An it seems to spit out this file!

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  &#9;
  <peer/>
</root>

What am I doing wrong ?

Well I figured the 2 issues.

The 	 is the tab character being escaped instead of being used as an indent.

The single <peer/> is when the node has not value.
