XML is just a data store, like a database or simple text file, there should be no procedural code inside it, instead you should reorganise your data into separate 'pages' which are pulled depending on what page you've loaded on your site.

Don't know if this is relevant but I do recall attempting to write PHP in a CSS file with some slight changes to the .htaccess file. It worked quite easy you have the server parse the CSS files for code besides the CSS so I got statements working there perhaps there is a way of doing it for XML. Then again I might be totally wrong as I'm not that familiar with XML :/
