Yes, I do it all the time. In fact you can return just about any
type of text-based file even if it's nothing like XML. [You can
even output binary data, but that can get tricky]

I'm not sure about null nodes. Have you tried looking at the XML
directly, say by using curl or wget?
Anyway XML is not freeform. Whitespace between tags, which
includes newlines and indentation, is significant. So
<tag>
</tag>
is not the same thing as
<tag></tag>
When you look at the DOM tree for the tag the newlines will be in
a Text-type node.
If you want to avoid the extra newlines being output, be sure to end
your template lines with a trailing backslash, to suppress the newlines.
In fact, unless you need readability, it's probably best to elimiate
ALL extra whitespace. Don't try to indent or pretty-format your
XML. Just run it all together on one line.
