No problem at all :)

It is just that (car Cells-References) came unexpected to me, because if
'Cells-References' holds an XML structure, then its CAR cannot be a
list. It is always (<tag> <asoq> . <body>).


> <gnm:Cells>
>  <gnm:Cell Row="0" Col="0" ValueType="60">Ticker</gnm:Cell>
>  <gnm:Cell Row="0" Col="1" ValueType="60">truc</gnm:Cell>

This is fine.

Right. So this structure can be processed with normal list functions.

   : (mapcar cddr (cddr X))
   -> (("Ticker") ("truc"))

I would not overestimate the importance of 'attr' and 'body'. In fact,
I use them rather seldom. Most of the time I'm iterating sub-structures
like above.
