+/**
+ * Takes care of reading in xml formatted data from a file.  This could/should
+ * be made more arbitrary in the future so that we can read the data from any
+ * source.  This is actually made quite simple already since all data read in
+ * is handled by one single helper function and then palced into a FlexBuf for
+ * easy access by the other functions.  The FlexBuf also allows for block
+ * reading from disk, which improves speed by a noticable amount.
+ * <br>
+ * There are also some extra features implemented that allow you to break the
+ * standard XML reader specs and eliminate leading and trailing whitespace in
+ * all read content.  This is useful in situations where you allow additional
+ * whitespace in the files to make them easily human readable.  The resturned
+ * content will be NULL in sitautions where all content between nodes was
+ * stripped.
