Well that's bad. If possible, tell them how to do it more efficiently.
Using XML in such a way is a constant source of trouble.
Of course that's a matter of company policy wether the own company will do, what the client wants, even if it's total bullshit.
To put it clear
If you do it correctly according to the standards, you have lots of tools, which will help you with the task. If you do not obey the standards, your client is on his own, probably writing very bad and difficult to maintain code.
There are lots of good XML tools out there and libraries are widespread in a lot of programming languages.
