Ok, I see, it is as I suspected it to be, either XML Tools from Late Night SW or build something using Java or Objective-C to link with applescript.

Or you could write your own XML-DOM library. Maybe a couple thousand lines; quite doable. (Writing a decent XML parser to hook up to it will be harder though.)

Or you could go half-n-half with XML Tools, writing a DOM-style wrapper for its list-n-record structures. Although I can't think of an easy solution to its annoying attributes-as-records habit, other than persuading LNS to add a 'presenting attributes as (list|record)' option to the 'parse XML' command.

Or go use another scripting language that includes an XML-DOM library as standard, e.g. Python - nice language; easy to learn and comes with a decent set of libraries.
