Nmap Development: Attributes error in nmap XML output

I'm working on a fairly simple application that parses the XML output
from nmap using libxml2. I have run into a problem with attributes in
the output of services that use SSL detection. The tablemethod or
probedmethod attributes of these service tags contains tunnel="ssl".
The quotes around ssl seem to be causing the problem. Here is an example:
<service name="https" tablemethod="tunnel="ssl" " conf="3" />

When running xmllint (from the libxml2 package) these tags generate a
attributes construct error, which prevents my application from parsing
them correctly. I would appreciate any help is working around this issue.

Thanks,

Thomas
