Ok, you really appreciate native tools? Me too ;-)

Good news. As I wrote before(libxml2 change xpath result separator): The change for newline-separators had been made within the source-code of libxml as of Sep 2018.

I just compiled libxml2 and verified that it works as expected:

Code:
$ xmllint-current --xpath "//SeriesName/text()" data.xml

So it's only a matter of time until it flows downstream into the major distributions. But if one has the need to be really compatible, one better may take other approaches.

...and l like hearing that my efforts contributed to your knowledge.

NAME

       libxml - library used to parse XML files

DESCRIPTION

       The  libxml  library  is  used to parse XML files.  Its internal document repesentation is as close as possible to the DOM (Document Object
       Model) interface, an API for accessing XML or HTML structured documents.

       The libxml library also has a SAX-like interface, which is designed to be compatible with that of another XML parser library called  expat.
       NOTE:  SAX,  the  Simple  API for XML, is a standard interface for event-based XML parsing, developed collaboratively by the members of the
       XML-DEV mailing list, currently hosted by OASIS.  The expat library is a XML 1.0 parser written in C, which aims to  be	fully  conforming.
       It is currently not a validating XML processor.

       The  libxml  library now includes a nearly complete XPath implementation.  The XPath (XML Path Language) is a language for addressing parts
       of an XML document, designed to be used by both XSLT and XPointer.

       The libxml library exports Push and Pull type parser interfaces for both XML and html.
