try using xmllint and xpath ... you can extract exactly what you want..
example: the file is called t.xml

Code:
echo 'cat /html/set/@label' | xmllint --shell t.xml | grep '='

will get you label

Code:
echo 'cat /html/set/@value' | xmllint --shell t.xml | grep '='

will get you set ...
Now pipe to awk or sed and extract what you want ...
This will work with any size XML ..

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
