[... example elided ...]

Are you wanting to build a DOM object, or build a string containing XML 
markup?  If the later, Builder::XmlMarkup will do this.  If the former, 
it would be interesting to create a Builder with a similar API to 
Buidler::XmlMarkup, but generated DOM trees instead of strings.

Or perhaps you are looking for something completely different.
