Just 2 thoughts:

- LyX uses a non-free library, so at least I haven't tried it yet (but
  I'd like to).

- As already said, some kind of XML-indent (or XML formatter) tool would
  be very useful in such cases.  But probably a shell script could do the
  job in a few steps (and maybe with some Python using XML libs in between
  ;) ) as well.
