$inappendix = FALSE;

while (<>) {
    if (/<appendix/) {
	$inappendix = TRUE;
    }
    if (/<\/appendix/) {
	$inappendix = FALSE;
    }
    if ((/^(.*<telephone[^>]*>)555-1234(.*)$/) && $inappendix) {
	$pre = $1;
	$post = $2;
	if (!(/client\s*=\s*["']Jones["']/)) {
	    print $pre . "555-4321" . $post . "\n";
	}
	else {
	    print $_;
	}
    }
    else {
	print $_;
    }
}

This is a somewhat simplistic implementation; for instance, it assumes
that there won't be more than one <telephone> on a single input line,
and it doesn't scale well for multiple clients that you're filtering
out.  It also assumes no CDATA marked sections, and demonstrates why
</> makes the DPH's life impossible.  I haven't actually run this, but
it's similar enough to other things I've done that I think it should
work.
