Not really...I'm not clear what good this will do. Just parsing an XML 
file doesn't achieve anything unless the parser has some other software 
it can hand the resulting parse-tree to (like a formatter, for example).

If you want to see XML formatted, the *provider* of the XML has to 
supply a stylesheet (CSS or XSLT) *and* your browser has to be able to 
render the formatting, which means both an XML parser and a stylesheet 
engine.

I'm not aware of any console program which does this. Lynx would be the 
obvious one, but AFAIK they don't have any interest in doing this.
