Pascal,

The section on  Manipulating XML Data in the Help of Mathematica 5.2 was
very usefull for me a few days ago when I wanted to extract numbers from an
XML file.

What exactly do you want to do with the XML? Obviously, you will have
a difficult time accessing the attributes by using part indices
because it is so deeply nested (and may even have some type of
conditional structure). If you can provide a word problem description
of specifically what you want to do, I could try giving you some
direction.
