Whoever designed that xml structure did a poor job and completely 
avoided the benefit of xml.  It _should_ look something like
<node type="s" val1="100" val2="164.44"..... to allow the XML library to 
handle parsing the structre.  That's what it's for.

But the separation between your values is not part of the xml, it's all 
part of the attribute value.  What you have is a non-xml chunk of data 
that you need to parse.  A separate regex library might be able to help, 
but it's nothing that libxml should be expected to provide.
