If the xPathString is too long you get an ArrayOutOfBound error thrown from ColdFusion. Beautiful!

What if you have two separate namespaces that both have an 'item' element? Much better to explicitly specify the namespace of the particular element you want, just specifying the default namespace is not at all obvious (at least wasn't to me).
