The reason is that in the beginning I have to treat the XML as pure text 
just as I receive it without modification. Using XSLT to me requires 
performing a parsing which generates a DOM tree where lose original 
formatting (there could be spaces between tags which are important to me).

Thank you for your help, maybe I failed to explain the problem the right 
way but this expression returns all the <inner_tag>s in a single group. 
What I need is to get in one group is a single 
<inner_tag>text</inner_tag> where the number of <inner_tag> is unknown 
before. So I need as many groups as the number of <inner_tag>s.
