I get "value is not a function" - I guess because toLowerCase() cannot work
on an XMLList. You would have to do:
rootXML.group.(name.text()[0].toLowerCase()=="fred"&&name.text()[0].toLowerCase()=="bob")
which, like you say, would always return nothing.
Or you have to specify group elements with exactly one child name element.
