Here's a sample script that might get you started. It worked for me on a simple test, but no guarantees...



 
firstElement = app.activeDocument.xmlElements.item(0);

processElement(firstElement);

function processElement(thisElement) 
{ 
	//call this recursively for all child elements 
	for (i=0; i<thisElement.xmlElements.length; i++) 
	{ 
		processElement(thisElement.xmlElements.item(i)); 
	}

	//do the thing you need to do to each element here: 
	if (thisElement.markupTag.name == "whatever") 
	{ 
		thisElement.xmlAttributes.add("my", "thing"); 
	} 
}
