I am not sure that you can to this easily. You use a very special form 
of OPENXML, the one without a WITH clause, that gives you an edge table. 
I have never found any use for edge tables, but maybe I've overlooked  
something.  
 
Since I'm no specialist in XML, I've consulted my MVP colleagues who know 
this topic better, so hopefully I will be able to return with a more  
definitive answer.
