Thank you all guys. Indeed, it was quite possible to manually build the DOM. I was confused because the package was called "XML*Parser*". I could see the nodes and all the DOM but I didn't expected these classes would understand "writing behavior" like #named: , #add: etc... but yes, they do understand so you can manually build the DOM and when you are done you can just get the resulting string.
