Non-top level nodes

[zeg-io]

I have some xml which is broken down like this

<rootNode>
  <header>...</header>
  <payload>
    <item>...</item>
    <item>...</item>
    ...
  </payload>
</rootNode>

What I'd like to do is get the header elements and then also all the items... however, it isn't clear to me that the module will even support that.

I ended up reading the header elements from the first few lines with a manual process, then attempting to read the <item> elements with xml-stream:

 xmlStream.preserve('item');
 xmlStream.on('endElement: item', function (d) { ...

But this won't work.

I've successfully used xml-stream to pull data from XML which is merely a repetition of items inside a root item with no problem whatsoever.

Does anyone know how I can simply / elegantly get my data?
