A long time ago I wrote a DOM implementation (dom.el) and a first
xpath implementation (xpath.el) to do this kind of thing.  It would
use the xml.el that comes with Emacs to create a list data structure,
and then use dom.el to create a DOM, and then use xpath.el to extract
info.

At the time nobody was interested, and I have since abandoned the
stuff.  It is still available on emacswiki.org, however.
