Alternatively, there's a shell script at:

http://uszla.me.uk/space/blog/2007/09/21

which will let you search with arbitrary, namespace-aware
xpath expressions. (as long as you've got xmllint on your
path), so your expression below would work directly if
you saved the script as "xmlget".

is there already a small cmdline tool where one can specify a xml file and
the element (like it is a filesystem)?

for example: xmlget blabla.xml blabla/entry[2]/bla

I've written once such a tool basing on libxml example for XPath. It's
available here: http://doomhammer.jogger.pl/2007/06/02/xmlgrep/
