Importing XML

I am using CS2, and trying to import a simple XML file into InDesign. Tags and styles are correctly configured, because I am able to import an XML with one <root> successfully. However, it seems the problem occurs when I attempt to add a second <root> (which, if I understand correctly, is the only way to enter different data into InDesign frames in another document, using the same XML file).
Here is my code:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root>
<name>name</name>
<number>number</number>
<address>address</address>
</Root>

<Root>
<name>name2</name>
<number>number2</number>
<address>address2</address>
</Root>



Ideas?
 
try:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root>
<Root>
<name>name</name>
<number>number</number>
<address>address</address>
</Root>
<Root>
<name>name2</name>
<number>number2</number>
<address>address2</address>
</Root>
</Root>

in xml you can have only one root element.
in your's example exist 2 root element.

best regards,
cristian
