Have you done mutation testing on XML? If yes, would you describe how you did it, please?

​Yes.

In testing XML Schema and example XML when building tools [1] for S3Model [2].
In this white box testing, for me it is a relatively manual process even though I do use some Python unit testing as well Selenium for automated browser testing.
