This is a verbose way of doing it but it ensures that any replacements are exact as intended....
Code:
$ sed 's!\(<machine>\)rocker\(</machine>\)!\1docker\2!' foo.xml
<xml>
<name>some name</name>
<value>some value</value>
<machine>docker</machine>
<name>some name</name>
<value>some value</value>
<machine>docker</machine>
</xml>
Cheers
