I did up a little example of this years ago (it's just a demo)*:

   http://silmaril.ie/downloads/software/xml2csv/xml2csv.zip

But as Martin noted, it's only meaningful for rectangular data:
trying to use it on an XML edition of a Shakespeare play is not
likely to produce anything usable.

* I demoed this to a class on XML Tools at one of the SGML/XML 
Conferences in the late 90s and I was approached afterwards by an irate 
attendee who was furious that his company had just paid a "consultant" 
$30,000 to write a C program to do the same thing, and how dare I make 
public this way of doing it? :-)
