Is xml2csv capable of dealing with the following two scenarios?

Scenario #1 subtag Tag within Sport is not unique so only last occurrence is output. Could both be output to the csv?

<People>
    <Person>
        <Name>Maggie</Name>
        <Age>3</Age>
        <Gender>Female</Gender>
        <Siblings>
            <Brother>Bart</Brother>
            <Sister>Lisa</Sister>
        </Siblings>
        <Sport>
            <Tag>Football</Tag>
            <Tag>Basketball</Tag>
        </Sport>
    </Person>
    <Person>
        <Name>Marge</Name>
        <Age>45</Age>
        <Gender>Female</Gender>
    </Person>
</People>

results in

name,age,gender,brother,sister,sport
"Maggie",3,"Female","Bart","Lisa","Basketball"
"Marge",45,"Female",,,

Scenario #2 rootXMLElement Beings is a supra category, so how could that be coded under headerMap ?

<Beings>
     <People>
         <Person>
             <Name>Maggie</Name>
             <Age>3</Age>
             <Gender>Female</Gender>
             <Siblings>
                 <Brother>Bart</Brother>
                 <Sister>Lisa</Sister>
             </Siblings>
             <Sport>
                 <Tag>Football</Tag>
                 <Tag>Basketball</Tag>
             </Sport>
         </Person>
     </People>
     <Animals>
         <Pet>
             <Name>Snowball</Name>
         </Pet>
         <Pet>
             <Name>Santa's Little Helper</Name>
         </Pet>
     </Animals>
</Beings>
