There is definitely something wrong with the 'extensions' element. In
my simplified example, all I had to do was to remove the one and only
'extensions' element, and VS processed the XML file properly.

As a further test I took my whole list of waypoints (actually, POIs)
and removed every single 'extensions' element. Again, the file was
processed without any problems.

It remains to be determined whether this problem is a Garmin screwup,
or a Microsoft screwup. Since Sun (via NetBeans' "Check XML" and
"Validate XML") says the file is fine, and IBM (via Eclipse) concurs,
I am inclined to place the blame on Microsoft.
