Of course, there's nothing that says every atomic
piece of data has to be put into a separate element
in XML.  Since the above is to be manipulated by 
code, the following would be in many cases just as
capable a format, and probably easier to manage:

<myproblem:recordset>
  <record>0 0 0 0 0</record>
  <record>0 0 0 0 0</record>
  <record>0 0 0 0 0</record>
  <record>0 0 0 0</record>
  <record>0 0 0 0</record>
</myproblem:recordset>
