If you iknow it does not damage the xml, you can force a line feed before every <, so all tags start on the front of one line and end on the front of a subsequent one. Parsing such a file with text tools is now much simpler.
Damage occurs if there is a literal string inside elements, perhaps an encoded LOB, that is corrupted by adding a trailing line feed. However, the app or the decoding itself may discard line feeds, like uuencode and base 64 but not urlencode.
