If I had spent more time on it, then it would be able to parse any
XML. However, it wasn't worth going further without first having
a look at the C code that produces the output.

For example, different XML encoding libraries may encode the
property values more or less strictly (for example, are values
properly encoded to prevent a value of "</name>" (for example)
from prematurely terminating the property borking the XML
valiation. (my guess would be that it would be encoded fully as
"<name></name></name>".

Just a matter of extending the extract_data() and extract_attr()
functions and then generalizing a little more.
