Thanks, Jerry. I just found this one http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/
I just need one function of it : format. Here is what I use:

# xml format /etc/cluster/cluster.conf > /etc/cluster/cluster.conf.save

( tools to create cluster.conf put all the xml keys/values into one line 
  :( )

Then I use vi to edit the cluster file.
