Untill now i've liked the DOM(XML) extension more.. But i should make
some time to compare them against string manipulation...

I think that in this case you're better off with a JOIN in your query
and that resultset to your xml document.
In the situation where you would add 2 unrelated sorts of data, your
approach seems faisable... For example, a node with articles (main content)..
And another node with messages (for a shoutbox as a gimmick)
