I didnt understand exactly what you mean by hand-coding the xml markup.. but
Charley's xml generation functions would definitely be useful in tools that are
developed based on systemtap (like 
SystemTapGui). xml based output would help to standardize the output to a 
certain extent and allows for easy parsing. A lot of eclipse-based tools work
with xml output as we already have an xml parser which would make it easy to
interpret and use xml output in graphs or otherwise.  The other option would be
to use an xml adapter to convert the output into xml format, but this is
definitely more straightforward and easier to use.
