Description

XML Converter - support parsing lists of nodes

Should update our xpath expression to select nodes, instead of just strings. Then we need a function to convert a list of nodes into a List attribute.

Research direction

Start by locating the XML Converter and the XPath expression it uses to select values. Trace how converter output becomes an attribute, then implement the node-list conversion so list attributes are supported; done means lists of XML nodes parse correctly without breaking existing values.
