Recent Linux distributions (e.g. SuSE 9.1 +, Redhat 8+) have good
utilities for processing XSLT.
XSLT is the W3C standard for transforming XML into other formats.
I attach a file which does not do your job exactly but can easily be
cloned to do so.
To use it:
xsltproc rep2lyx.xsl yourfile.xml | sed s '/^ *//' > outfile.lyx
You will need to change the tagnames in the xsl file to match the tags
in your xml format.

Transforms XML file into LyX format
expects:
document (query+)
query (row+)
row (col+ )
Status: 10 May - works
Features: col headers, adjusts OK
Problems: extra line after </row> in header line
Spurious spaces before some tags (use sed to fix)
