Just now seeing your new posts, Ric. For some reason my e-mail notification is spotty these days. Happy that you were able to sub an XLR for that crummy Radio Shack plug!

Just one question remaining - how am I supposed to wire the shield of the RCA to the proper pin on the TRS or XLR?
After you unwrap the braiding, you can twist it all together, like this:




At that point I would cut the shield fairly short (tin it first) before soldering it to Pin 3. Since it doesn't have any protective insulation, you don't want it shorting out somewhere:
