Well, you have a lot better chance of making a mistake in the xml document using cfsavecontent than you will using the xml functions. But if it is the only way to get your desired result, then its the only way.
This may be a "why isn't the sky green" argument, but you may need to ask them why they cant take <node /> instead of <node></node>. If they are using an actual xml parser it shouldn't have any trouble with <node /> and if anything, I would think it would be faster than <node></node>. And if they are having to actually parse the file as text, then it really doesn't make sense that they are asking for it in xml... Just a thought...
