I suggest you to download my XML generation module jaxml from:

http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/jaxml

the latest version is 1.22

with this module generating XML has never been more easy:

>>> import jaxml
>>> myxmldoc = jaxml.XML_document()
>>> myxmldoc.DataSet(type="coordinate")
>>> myxmldoc.CoordinateSet(type="waypoint")
>>> myxmldoc.datapoint(number="gh456")
>>> myxmldoc.name("WAYPNT")
>>> myxmldoc._output()                

Gives:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<DataSet type="coordinate">
    <CoordinateSet type="waypoint">
        <datapoint number="gh456">
            <name>
                WAYPNT
            </name>
        </datapoint>
    </CoordinateSet>
</DataSet>

Hoping this will help.
