The latitude and longitude is stored as content of the lat/lng-childNodes of the marker's

You may access the values via:

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(markers[i]
                                                .getElementsByTagName("lat")[0]
                                                  .firstChild.nodeValue),
                                    parseFloat(markers[i]
                                                .getElementsByTagName("lng")[0]
                                                  .firstChild.nodeValue));
