Scanning malware embedded in XML content

Any way to accomplish this? As we know, containers like ZIP are easy peasy. Content will get scanned without issues (provided no encryption is used). But what about more complicated container files, such as and specifically XML? Does Sophos have any kind of a position on this issue?

Elsewhere, I spotted this:

But was this feature (scanning inside XDP files) ever implemented as suggested? Also, and if yes, is the same functionality available or being considered for generic XML files?
