XML key/value pairs (Utility - XML)

Hi,

I wanted to parse some data from XML file and thought to use the Utility - XML provided by Blue Prism.
Soon I came to the point where it seems the VBO cannot help me anymore.

I used following file: 
C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate\Automate.exe.config

And want to read the value of this line:
<add key="BrowserAutomation.DefaultCommunicationTimeout" value="3000" />

The action Get Attribute returns only: 
value=

It seems Utility - XML expects a format like: 
<key name="k1">val1</key>
but got this:
<item key="k1" value="val1" />

There seem to be three ways on presenting key/value pairs in XML:

I looked at DX if there is a newer version available but the VBO handles key/values the same way.
(btw the version number in DX is 1.0.0 but the file is named BPA+Object+-+Utility+-+XML_v2.0.xml and was updated two days ago.
Also the link to the readme.md file does not work anymore)

Is this a community topic or should I create support ticket?
