How to change the XML output format?

Hello. When we export a report to the XML format, it gives us an output like this:

....
<data>
        <row>
            <value>1</value>
            <value>Envisn</value>
             <value>Harvard, MA</value>
        </row>
        <row>
            <value>2</value>
            <value>IBM</value>
            <value>New York</value>
        </row>
    </data>
</dataset>

Is there any way we can change this format so cognos gives us the output that we want without using third party tools?
For example I'd like the metadata tags to be used like <number>2</number> instead of the "value" in each row.

Hi,
I'm wanting to do the same thing.  Have you found a way to modify the element names in the output xml file?
