Yes, yes you really can. I've parsed very large and complex XML documents
using nothing but pure appleScript.

It's basically a text document with XML tags. Different XML documents can
have different specs, which are often, but not always, spelled out in a
separate document.

No knowing exactly how easy you've imagined, I'd guess yes, working with raw
XML is easier than you may have imagined.
