Builder::XmlMarkup is obviously a much more powerful package and
TWTG for more complex requirements.

But if you don't mind, I'll leave mine on the RAA, since the approaches
do differ a little bit and mine is so *damn* lightweight (maybe
even just short from weightless) :)

But I'll include a reference to Builder::XmlMarker.
