Hi Mario,

It is unfortunate, but Excel does a far better job of importing/opening 
random XML files than LO. I download XML files from a public 
administration I work with, and in Excel I can just open them by 
double-clicking on them. Excel creates an on-the-fly ad-hoc namespace 
for the document if it doesn't recognize the namespace of the XML or 
doesn't have an import filter for it, and also preserves the tree 
structure of the elements and attributes, using the elements as filter 
headers. Quite simply put, this is brilliant.

LO, on the otherhand, imports everything as simple text and dumps it 
willy-nilly into the spreadsheet in the first column, losing all 
element/attribute information. If you want the same thing in LO, you 
have to design and implement a separate XSLT filter for each XML type 
that you want to open...
