This isn't XML, it's an abomination of XML. Best to not treat it as XML.
Good thing you're only after one class of tags. Here's what I'd do. I'll
give a general solution, but there are two parameters / four cases that could
make the code simpler, I'll just point them out at the end.
Iterate over the file descriptor, reading in line-by-line. This will be slow
on a huge file, but probably not so bad if you're only doing it once.
Note that it's not unlikely that this is actually *slower* than using a
real XML parser:
