Insert/Update using sed

Hi,

I have a xml file (Config.xml) with following entry

Code:
<Date="" Node1="50" Groups="20">

Now I want to use sed to insert/update the Date field with the latest date say - 20120711. I can't use a simple replace command becuase the Date field could be blank ("") or sometimes could have value in it ("20110710")

Tried below sed command but failed.

Code:
sed -e 's/Date=.*"/Date=20120711/' Config.xml

Can someone please help?

Thanks
