The JUNOS UI consists of two parts, the CLI and MGD.  In general,
the CLI handles rendering XML content into text, but rendering
configuration is an exception.

For configuration, MGD writes the config in text form for the CLI
unless the "display xml" pipe is given.  Formatting is done as the
data is pulled from the database (where is it not stored in XML).

So the CLI has no clue how to render config XML into text.

You should be able to use the 'format="text"' attribute on
the <get-configuration> RPC to get the real text data, if
that's what you want.

Or you can put lib-util.slax on your box, import it, and
then use the "jcs:dump" template to dump XML content
(in slax-ish syntax) if that's what you want:

http://junoscriptorium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/library/juniper/import/lib/lib-util/lib-util.slax

    call jcs:dump($name = "title", $out = $my-xml);

Thanks,
