Of course.

I'm not sure why that is an advantage (but it is your map, so your
choice). If you were already outputting xml for your v2 map, you
could use the code as is.

That is a v2 map. Where is the version that you can't get working
with v3?
It should be just like what you did for v2 (remove the guts from the
loop that processes the xml and apply it to each entry from your
database, making sure to do the initial stuff before you output the
marker data and the final stuff after you finish)
