Is it possible (advisable?)to use a loaded XML directly as a ComboBox DataProvider or is it best to separate the XML into separate arrays for each part of the tree you want to access?

I’m constructing a map with a cursor which moves to a location depending on a site selected from a ComboBox. The selection also loads a text field with site details.  
The XML structure is:  
\<sites\>  
\<site\>  
\</coordinates\>  
\</details\>  
\</site\>  
\<site\> …  
\</sites\>
