It sounds like what you really want is to use an xml stylesheet. I'm not sure what the best way to do that with jQuery is. There may be some way to do it natively, also a quick search brought up this plugin: http://www.jongma.org/webtools/jquery/xslt/
An explanation of xlst: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-xdpshpul.html?open&l=976,t=gr#code5 If you know the structure of the xml, another workaround could also be to style the xml directly with css. You could display: block on all the elements, then position them to get the tabbed effect. Then use the pseudo class :before {content: <tagname>} and :after {content: </ tagname>} to get the tags in there. I'd be interested to hear how you end up doing it.
