Tks for your answer Chris, but for deeper level XML the notations get
cryptcal and unreadable.
I get some tips in Mathematica Cookbook XML part (page 212 from
printed version).
One simple one that I liked was this:
cleanedXML = Apply[List,dataXML,{0,Infinity}]
It make the XML much more clean to read.
