Thanks, Marijn (esp. for the kind/merciful parenthetical note). Your guess was correct. Although 'view source' didn't reveal anything in this particular case, looking at the data in lisp made it clear what was going on: I was using a browser to look at the value returned by RAW-POST-DATA and had lazily stuck <pre></pre> tags around the xml, not realizing the xml between the tags wasn't displayed by firefox...

However, Hunchentoot's RAW-POST-DATA returns only "2 1"...all of the xml tag information is (apparently) discarded. Is there a straightforward way to get anything a littler "rawer"? Are you perhaps looking at the data in your browser? If so, have you tried 'view source'? (The browser will interpret the XML as messy HTML and not show tags... this has confused me in the past.)
