Thanks for the hint but I have seen that post but it's about another problem.

There is something wrong with that Google XML file -or with my way to access it. When I grep a record in the xmllint shell, it returns some wild card instead of the node path:
Code:
$ xmllint --shell cts.xml 
/ > grep Arthur
/*/*[16]/*[5] : tan        9 Arthur M.
/*/*[16]/gd:name/gd:fullName : tan        9 Arthur M.
/*/*[16]/gd:name/gd:givenName : ta-        6 Arthur
/ >

My understanding is that it should have returned a full path to the node. Something like:
Code:
/feed/entry/gd:name/gd:fullName

Could that be that the file is corrupt? A xmllint --debug doesn't return anything abnormal though.

But I could be on something:

Code:
xmllint --valid cts.xml
cts.xml:2: validity error : Validation failed: no DTD found !
tp://schemas.google.com/g/2005" gd:etag="W/"A0AFRHc4eit7I2A9WhNVEkU.""
                                                                               ^

But all other test files that work all right with xmllint generate the same error on validation...

Again, I am getting nowhere...
