How to use xml_grep to get the value of an attribute?

I'm using xml_grep command to get the value of different tags in a xml-file.
No i also need the value of an attribute in a tag.
Can I use xml_grep for this? Does anybody know how?
ex. :
Code:
 
<Name xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLinst" xsi:spaceSchema="Name_5879.xsd">
...
</Name>

I need the value of xsi:spaceSchema > Name_5879.xsd

I'm not sure about using xml_grep, below is an awk program to get the value of attribute:-
Code:
awk -F"=" '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) { if($i~/xsi:spaceSchema/) v=$(i+1); } } END { gsub(/"|>/,"",v); print v; } ' xml
