XML::Smart and XML::Simple doesn't follow any DTD to read a XML!

What I say that is crazy, is the use of <list> in 2 ways, that I don't think that can be defined well with a DTD.

Also you really need to take care with typos. in XML, foo-bar, is very different of foobar, that is different of FOOBAR! Soo, when I saw list-item, and listitem, for me as a XML tag, they are things different, but only similar in the name. So, the structure that I suggest in the end, is based in the same tree structure sent in the main post, where yes, it has a list with items and sub lists inside it, since I won't judge that structure, I'm only judging the use of similar names for tags and use of the same name, <list>, in different ways.

And don't forget that without "following standard practices and proper XML design." you don't have a real XML, for the real purpose of XML, be a standart format. And without a real XML you just don't need XML, you can use better things to declare a tree.

Good luck!
