I have two probably not very helpful suggestions.
One is a vague thought that you might be able to read in the entire

document then have the instances use XPath to extract their
specific data.
I'll look into this more when I have some time. I don't know anything
about XPath yet, and my code is working so I'm not in a hurry to
learn something new. I get the feeling that my problem is one that
has some sort of pattern based solution that has nothing to do with
the particulars of my situation. This has probably come up over and
over again in various situations, and I'm just not quite smart enough
or persistent enough to invent the elegant solution on my own.
Another thought is to look at the XMLPreferences module and the
XMLDictionary that it is based on, to see if they have any ideas worth
borrowing or if you could use them instead of rolling your own.

XMLDictionary

I did take a look at these, and they aren't really solving the same
problem. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
