I have an xml document in the format below:

  <key>value</key>
  <key>value</key>
  <key>value</key>

But need to convert it to the following:

  <tag k='key' v='value' />
  <tag k='key' v='value' />
  <tag k='key' v='value' />

The original xml file is roughly 20,000 lines long, so I'm keen to automate as much as possible! I've looked at xmlstarlet, but drew a blank with it. Presumably it would be a good place to start though? Help gratefully received, thanks.
