XML- Sed || Awk Bash script... Help!

Hi ! I'm working into my first bash script to make some xml modification and it's going to make me crazy lol .. so I decide to try into this forum to take some ideas from people that really know about this!

This is my situation I've and xml file with a lots of positional values with another tags too but this are the importants tags

Code:

<x>28.981743194648736</x>
<y>72.4853691731618</y>
<z>0.0</z>
<x>53.46605522341658</x>
<y>54.678596788603365</y>
<z>0.0</z>

and this continue with differents values in the same way
I need to change all the values of x tags by new ones, particulary with random numbers.. the problem that I've is that I have succes to change that values but..... ! , sed change me the value of all the <x> </x> tags with the same value and I need that all that values were differents.. here my code

Code:

#!/bin/bash
NUM=0

while [ $NUM -le 20 ]; do
NUM1=$(echo "scale=3;((${RANDOM})/1000)" |bc)
echo "$NUM1"
sed 's/<x>[-[:alnum:]./]\{1,\}<\/x>/<x>'$NUM1'<\/x>/' myfile.xml > newfile.xml

echo "\$NUM: $NUM"
let NUM=$NUM+1
done

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME ANY IDEA WOULD BE WELCOME !!!
