I dont think so, I saw that entry myself, but that bug seems to just remove formatting and tags, where as this one completly clears the browser content area.

Yeah, that's what confused me a little.
Could you provide an explicit URL pointing to an XML file that you see this problem with?

I think I was confused too, in the example I was using it did clear the screen as it didnt have any content between the tags, it just uses tag parameters to define the data; or at least I think thats the reason. So apologies as I think it is the same bug.
