 <product name="dog food" upc="541231212567">
  <prices>
   <price currency="USD">53.33</price>
   <price currency="EUR">21.99</price>
  </prices>
  <name>Zug Zug Dog Food</name>
  <description>
   <![CDATA[
    This is the only kind of food that won't eat.
   ]]>
  </description>
 </product>
</products>
