Of course, that is only one way to use XML.  That could be written in a fashion somewhat easier on the eyes if your schema is designed for it:

	<thing>
		<element-list>
			<element value="1"/>
			<element value="2"/>
			<element value="3"/>
			<element value="4"/>
			<element-list>
				<element value="5"/>
				<element value="6"/>
			</element-list>
		</element-list>
	</thing>
