XMLReader::readOuterXML
For those who, like me, are having trouble figuring out the difference between getString() an getInnerXML(), the difference is that getString() does NOT include markup. So, for:
<foo>bar<baz>Hello, world!</baz></foo>
getString() on the <foo> node would return
bar Hello, world!
whereas getInnerXML() would return
bar<baz>Hello, world!</baz>
