sed extract from xml

I have an xml file that generally looks like this:

Code:

"<row><dnorpattern>02788920</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>\+
44146322XXXX</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>40[6-9]XXX</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>11</dn
orpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>9710</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>755.XXXXX</dnorpattern><desc
ription/></row><row><dnorpattern>00</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>02754115</dnorpattern><description/></row><ro
w><dnorpattern>456XXX</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>\+44551665XXXX</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>02785XXX</dnorpattern><description/></row><row><dnorpattern>99999</dnorpattern><description/></row>"

I want to extract all the dnorpatterns here and am very close with this:

Code:

sed -n -e 's/.*<dnorpattern>\(.*\)<\/dnorpattern>.*/\1/p'

This grabs the dnorpattern but I am only getting the last one.
I think it's actually grabbing them all but overwritting with each new instance so I only end up with the last instance in the file.
I think I need to use i or a here somewhere but I can't quite figure out where to put it.

How would I add a new line after each instance in the output stream so that I get all instances listed?
