[R] XML parse error

Hi Kulwinder

There seems to be many points of confusion here
You appear to have added new files to the installation of the XML 
package, i.e. norel.xsd and LogCallSummary.bin into examplData.
They are not part of the regular XML package installation.

Because these are not part of the XML installation, we have no
idea what they contain.  The binary dump does not show us
the real content, just the sequence of bytes.

xmlParse() can read a regular XML file or a gzip compressed
file. But it cannot make sense of arbitrarily formatted
binary files.

So if you want help on your task, you might try to explain
where you started, and at a higher/more abstract level than
binary files.

So please give a reproducible example that we might be able to emulate.
