Swish will just look at them as tags.  The attribute values can be 
indexed as well with XMLClassAttributes -- or should be able to.  I just 
did a quick check and it seems like that feature might be broken.  
Still, XML is too general of a way to represent data for swish-e to 
understand.

Yes.  You just format the data as you like.

Maybe someone here can put together a small perl script for you.  What 
kind of operating environment do you have?  I.e. what OS and is it 
up-to-date and include Perl?
