Answer 1

I've found Ariel Flesler's XMLWriter constructor function to be a good start for creating XML from scratch, take a look at this

http://flesler.blogspot.com/2008/03/xmlwriter-for-javascript.html

Example

function test(){    
   var v = new  XMLWriter();
   v.writeStartDocument(true);
   v.writeElementString('test','Hello World');
   v.writeAttributeString('foo','bar');
   v.writeEndDocument();
   console.log( v.flush() );
}

Result

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="true" ?>
<test foo="bar">Hello World</test>

One caveat to keep in mind is that it doesn't escape strings.
