If you are just changing the size of the memory, you could probably do it with rpl; if you are just inserting fixed blocks of text, I'm sure you could manage it with sed. If it gets arbitrarily complex, then you can do arbitrarily complex things in emacs. The question then becomes whether it is worth the time. If the job were big enough (ie thousands of VM's) perhaps yes. If only a dozen or so, then emacs *.xml and manually fixing each is probably the most efficient, albiet boring, thing to do. Oh, and don't forget, emacs has an xml mode. So does vi.
