Tref,

This is the relevant part of what I'm using in my config file for 
indexing XML:

DefaultContents XML2
MetaNames title description swishdocpath
PropertyNames title date
UndefinedXMLAttributes ignore
PropertyNamesMaxLength 300 swishdescription
PropertyNameAlias swishdescription description

Where I'm indexing files which look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<page>
    <title>About HRWeb</title>
    <date>1033348507</date>
