Did not use the XML Parsing tool for this...pretty painful experience!

Like others before me I branched the parse tool into 4 streams, among other reasons to keep my sanity in the face of outerXML column names (and keeping the solution dynamic, too).

Solution attached. I took the linear approach with an intermediate step for field renaming/removal. While requires more steps, the branching approach is definitely more readable.
