It's too early for XSLT as there are numerous redundant tags. Just to get an idea, there are about 400 tags with at least 3 attributes average, with some of them needed to be combined, smome of them split into several tags, some of them removed, etc. But I found the solution. I will do the initial cleaning with regex, casting the whole XML to String, which so powerfull and fast in AS3 that I couldn't believe it. And then create the final XML output with XML class, do some modifications, etc. Really, with regex what seemed to be a huge problem in the beginning is now a piece of cake. It is still a huge piece, but of cake.
I'm basically creating my own "XSLT" which converts this XML into something that can be renderable in Flash/Flex.
