I think this is the perfect situation for my betterXml component:
http://betterxml.riaforge.org
With it you could do this with only a few lines of code (XPath required), ie.
oXml = CreateObject('component', 'betterXmlEditor').init(xmlSource);
// xml string, file or url for the source
oXml.Update('//[EMAIL PROTECTED]"#theId#"]', theContentToAdd); // updates
all elements with id="#theId#" with theContentToAdd (can be either
structure or plain string);
oXml.Write(xmlFilePath);
