What this XML step proves
Element extraction should respect qualified and local names.
What to review before handoff
Review namespaces and repeated siblings before treating extracted text as a flat record set.
Find elements by qualified or local name and export their path, text content, and attributes locally.
Check structure, namespaces, repeated records, mixed content and remote-looking references. Converter pages review generated XML output when that is the handoff artifact.
Reviewing current XML…
Browser DOM parsing checks well-formedness and structure. It is not an XSD/DTD/business-rule validator, sanitizer or permission to trust remote resources; this review does not fetch external schemas or entities.
Element extraction is a subtree task rather than an attribute lookup. Audit matched element depth, text length, child structure and attributes before reusing extracted fragments.
| Element path | Child elements | Attributes | Text characters |

Extracted elements can carry nested structure, namespaces and mixed content. Treating them as plain text can lose XML meaning.
