Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into it, but in the meantime,  
what is the advantage or difference?

Zenmap's parser is hard to use. It creates a data structure that is
really just a bunch of dictionaries that mirror the XML. Ndiff's parser
is more careful about error checking and distinguishing when a piece of
data is absent rather than just empty.
