No, that's the whole point.  All escapes were interpreted when you  
parsed enclosing_doc, and replaced by their corresponding characters.

The text of the <string> element is itself a valid XML document, and  
incidentally, the XML document you really care about.

Try "puts enclosing_doc.elements["/string"].text", and it should all  
make more sense.
