Description
In the XML2 module we have redundant functions: findvalue/findvalues and findnode/findnodes.
the couple's first one returns the first element found while the couple's econd returns a complete array of all element found.
It might be relevant to replace all the findvalue/findnode calls with findvalues[1]/findvalues[1] and thus delete findvalue/findnode.

Research direction
Start in the XML2 module by locating the definitions and all call sites of findvalue, findvalues, findnode, and findnodes. Check whether the singular calls can be replaced consistently, then verify that the redundant singular functions and their usages are removed without changing behavior.
