I think the requirement that XML data must be wrapped in some sort of
wrapper is going to be problematic. While this will be a fairly common case, so
that multiple XML elements can be combined into a single FlowFile, it is also
going to be common (probably more common) that each XML element will be its own
standalone Record. This is especially important if this Reader is used for
something like ListenTCPRecord or ConsumeKafkaRecord, where the data is
received from elsewhere so no processor has a chance to wrap the content prior
to using the XML Reader. I think we need to support both ignoring the
outer-most element as well as incorporating the outer-most element.
