Hi José,

This looks good to me, is the patch against the trunk or the latest 
release? I don't suppose you have a patch to the equivalent of CVS trunk 
laying around? :)

One thing I wonder - why not use serialization to create the XML instead 
of building it with print statements? (Brian I wonder the same thing 
about html.py :) although the layout needed is finicky enough I could 
see why you'd go that way ).

I have been working on buildbot XML output in a local branch, I'll send 
an example of this once I am further along ( I need to learn twisted 
more as I am sure I am implementing things it provides ).


Thanks!
Rob
