I use processing to write out a lot of XML. At the moment the only way to
do that is with proXML (good but can't write element content). On the flip
side for reading XML the processing library is absolutly fantastic. This
causes a lot of pain, usually involving making xml with one sketch and
reading in another.

However now that XMLElement is a perminate addition to core, it causes
namespace problems with proXML. So I've started doing a lot of this

import proxml.*;

processing.xml.XMLElement input = new
processing.xml.XMLElement(this,"setup.xml");
// do a bunch of stuff

proxml.XMLElement output = new proxml.XMLElement( "root" ) ;
// do more stuff

XMLInOut xmlInOut = new XMLInOut(this);
xmlInOut.saveElement(output, "myCrazyFileName.xml");

It works but it isn't pretty. So I'm throwing the request on the mercy of
the court. Any chance of being able make and save XML?

Sorry, I was trying to turn this into a request but it looks like it's a
bug. Appologies, frequently I'm a moron :-)

Have you looked for the developer's reference for XML?
http://dev.processing.org/reference/core/

There are methods for writing, but I haven't had a chance to go through
them and make sure they fit our API style so we don't publish them as part
of the rest of the API.
