Perhaps you could elaborate on your requirements. If all you need is to change name='ins_C2Londondev' to name='ins_B2Londondev', change user='' to user='C2_dev', change group='' to group='sports' regardless of context, then you don't really need any XML parsing. Oh, and if the new values somehow depend on the input, we can't guess what they need to be, so you need to explain that. On the other hand, if you need real XML parsing, sed is not the right tool.

Code:
sed -e "s/name='ins_C2Londondev'/name='ins_B2Londondev'/" \
    -e "s/user=''/user='C2_dev'/" -e "s/group=''/group='sports'/" file.xml

TTX2XGF(1)						      General Commands Manual							TTX2XGF(1)

NAME
ttx2xgf - extracts instructions from a TTX file and creates an Xgridfit program. SYNOPSIS
ttx2xgf [options] infile[.ttx] [outfile] DESCRIPTION
ttx2xgf is a utility that extracts instructions (hints) and other information relating to instructions from a TTX file (an XML representa- tion of a TrueType font) and creates a new Xgridfit program. If infile lacks the .ttx extension, it is assumed. If outfile is not given, output is written to infile.xgf. OPTIONS
--config Path to a configuration file (relative paths are permitted). If this is not given, ttx2xgf will look first for a file config.xml in the current directory, next in the user's Xgridfit configuration directory, and finally in the Xgridfit base directory. -e Display diagnostic messages (for debugging). -E, --elapsed-time Time the running of this program and display the result. --processor=libxslt|lxml|xsltproc|saxon-6|saxon-9|xalan-j|xalan-c|4xslt Select a preferred XSLT processsor; ttx2xgf will use this one if possible. FILES
/usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/convert-ttx.xsl An XSLT script that performs the initial conversion. /usr/share/xml/xgridfit/util/convert-asm.sed A Sed script that completes the conversion. SEE ALSO
