Should this be impossible, you could try to pretend that your "XML"
file is an SGML file: Write a simple DTD that allows you to omit
specific start and/or end tags within the file. With a little bit
of luck (this process depends on the errors contained in your broken
XML file, of course), you should be able to normalize the file with 
SP, OpenSP or some other SGML parser. The normalized output is, more 
or less, what you want.

Hope that helps.

Kind regards,
