You could add a form to your map page - with hidden form fields for each XML value you want to create. Populate the hidden form fields when the infowindow is opened and submit the form to a server side script which takes the form values, creates an XML file and returns it to the browser.
I use this technique with my GDirections2GPX code to send a string to a PHP script which returns a GPX filetype to the browser. Look at the GDirections2GPX demo map source code and you'll see the form with a hidden field: http://googlemapsapi.martinpearman.co.uk/infusions/google_maps_api/basic_page.php?map_id=12 And if you download the GDirections2GPX source you'll find string2file.php which is the script that the map submits the form to. It takes the POST'd string, cleans it up with stripslashes() if necessary and returns the GPX file to the browser. http://googlemapsapi.martinpearman.co.uk/downloads/GDirections2GPX.zip Martin.
