A XSL stylesheet is the easiest way to process your records. Consider the following sample set of records:
Code:
<records>
   <record>
       <recId>1</recId>
       <created>Wed Dec 10 06:00:16 2008</created>
       <userid>joebloggs</userid>
       <domain>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</domain>
   </record>
   <record>
       <recId>2</recId>
       <created>Wed Dec 17 06:00:16 2008</created>
       <userid>jondoe</userid>
       <domain>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</domain>
   </record>
   <record>
       <recId>3</recId>
       <created>Wed Jan 19 06:00:16 2008</created>
       <userid>jjhollis</userid>
       <domain>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</domain>
   </record>
   <record>
       <recId>4</recId>
       <created>Mon Dec 22 16:30:17 2008</created>
       <userid>jondoe</userid>
       <domain>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</domain>
   </record>
</records>

which is a valid and well-formed XML document containing 4 records.

Using the following XSL stylesheet with xsltproc:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<!-- pass in userid as -param userid "'joedoe'"  -->
<xsl:param name="userid" />

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="records">
<records>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="record" />
</records>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="record">
   <xsl:if test="userid=$userid">
       <xsl:copy-of select="." />
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

you can output all the records for "jondoe" to stdout as follows:
Code:
$ xsltproc --param userid "'jondoe'" file42.xsl file42.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<records>
  <record>
       <recId>1</recId>
       <created>Wed Dec 17 06:00:16 2008</created>
       <userid>jondoe</userid>
       <domain>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</domain>
   </record>
  <record>
       <recId>4</recId>
       <created>Mon Dec 22 16:30:17 2008</created>
       <userid>jondoe</userid>
       <domain>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</domain>
   </record>
</records>
