Not a bad Idea.
You might like this function I made then ;)

function createElement($parentNode, $name, $elements=array()) {
$node = $this->Dom->createElement($name);
for ($x=0; $x < count($elements); $x++) {
if ($elements[$x][0] == ".") {
$node->nodeValue = $elements[$x][1];
} else {
$node->setAttribute($elements[$x][0], $elements[$x][1]);
}
}
$parentNode->appendChild($node);
}

general all purpose element creator for those of us that hate to call
setAttribute a hundred times ;)
