I know of several people that are using CGIDEV2 to create XML output. I
suppose you can check your template to make sure that it's well-formed
before outputting.

Personally, I just write it to a stream file directly -- which is probably
not the "right" way to do it, but like the CGIDEV2 situation, I generally
have a template with only a small amount of data that needs to change with
each output.   I haven't had any problems with this approach (yet)
