Does the -L option help at all? It's listed as experimental, but the 
docs suggest that a range of dates is the intended function.

If I'm reading your example XML correctly, I'm not at all sure that what 
you want is possible, since 'subrecord' and 'attributeX' is such a 
generic way of referring to data.

You might try using the -S prog method to split up your subrecords into 
actual, distinct xml "files". That way each one would be a distinct 
"file" and could be return that way.
