Yahoo Pipes 'failed to parse input' XML

Question

Hello,

I'm having a slight problem with Yahoo Pipes, when i enter the url: Umstant i get an error 'failed to parse input'. I think the problem is because the XML isn't being transmitted with the xml declaration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I've asked the author to add it but it seems to break other things in the process, so it isn'tpossible to do it. On a couple of forums it mentioned using the Path to item list setting, but i tried a number of combinations "matches, matches.similarterms, matches.similarterms.term" but stillno joy.

I was hoping to convert the XML to JSON for use cross-domain. Any ideas on how to do this would be much appreciated.

Thanks
