True and true, but it does not guarantee the output XML will be valid: as far as Jinja's concerned it's all just text is it not? Genshi also supports streaming (using `serialize`), will also properly escape everything and — using the default xml serializer — ensures the output is valid XML.
(edit: I want to note that I wasn't trying to put down jinja, it's just the first text-based template I thought of when trying to write down a list, it's a fine templating language) (just not to generate XML)
