In terms of a page where you can see some XML parsing and DOM traversal, 
see:
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/xml.html

In terms of output from pgrouting, I think you're adding a good bit of 
trouble for yourself it you wrap WKT in XML.  Why not KML, GeoRSS, 
GeoJSON, or even GML?  You'll have to do less custom document parsing if 
you use a standard format to represent features.

I guess this depends on the output options from pgrouting.
