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.

xml::parser::style::tree
Parser::Style::Tree(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Parser::Style::Tree(3)
NAME
XML::Parser::Style::Tree
SYNOPSIS
use XML::Parser;
my $p = XML::Parser->new(Style => 'Tree');
my $tree = $p->parsefile('foo.xml');
DESCRIPTION
This module implements XML::Parser's Tree style parser.
When parsing a document, "parse()" will return a parse tree for the document. Each node in the tree takes the form of a tag, content pair.
Text nodes are represented with a pseudo-tag of "0" and the string that is their content. For elements, the content is an array reference.
The first item in the array is a (possibly empty) hash reference containing attributes. The remainder of the array is a sequence of tag-
content pairs representing the content of the element.
So for example the result of parsing:
<foo><head id="a">Hello <em>there</em></head><bar>Howdy<ref/></bar>do</foo>
would be:
Tag Content
==================================================================
[foo, [{}, head, [{id => "a"}, 0, "Hello ", em, [{}, 0, "there"]],
bar, [ {}, 0, "Howdy", ref, [{}]],
0, "do"
]
]
The root document "foo", has 3 children: a "head" element, a "bar" element and the text "do". After the empty attribute hash, these are
represented in it's contents by 3 tag-content pairs.
