Yes, that would be great. XML is a flexible go-to archive, exchange and application format.
Things like entities, namespaces and so makes it non-trivial, but being able to conveniently process Inkscape and Open Office files etc would be very useful.
One should probably look at what applications generate XML and create some large test files with existing applications.
