Each item in an 'XML2' file will have XML within <TaskInventoryItem>.  The asset uuid for that item will be in the 
<AssetID> field.

The XML2 isn't well documented (or even documented at all, I suspect).  It's quite an ancient format and I didn't make 
any effort to document it for OARs since it pre-existed OARs and I'm hoping that a more suitable format would come 
along.  However, as for so many things that hasn't happened yet.
