Try to imagine, I have to call this command a few hundred
times while unfolding a category node in my tree view. :)

I think, XML is good for writing out things. You can
simply use fprintfs to spit out the data. It is normal to
do that. It would be a good idea to have a good DTD
or a XML-schema to parse it later. Having this few things
in mind, you can just start with a XML-prologue, then
the DOCTYPE and then whatever you want (as long as it's
well-formed and valid XML).
