I was able to solve it by reading our XML docs

The default XML is older and has various properties that make it easier to parse with a regex, but conversly harder to handle with normal XML manipulation tools. This has been resolved by adding the xmlstlye=clean and xmlstyle=flat settings.

adding xmlstyle=clean solves the issue
