Simple XML Response Proxy Server Pages are not so simple!

According to the documentation, touch-points (actions) such as Ping expect a response in the form of "a simple XML response instead of a resulting HTML page". However, a closer look at the documentation shows that the response is not XML at all but instead the word SUCCESS or ERROR surrounded by <result> tags. For example,

<result>SUCCESS<result>

Notice that there is no closing result tag (</result>) as one might expect if this were actually XML!
