What makes one want to avoid the DOM interface? Do you know any docs/links which discuss this further? How tied to Python is your opinion on DOM?
I think that last question is the key point.
DOM is very much un-python.
If you are "just" generating XML, then you will probably go faster if you use things that naturally fit into the python programming idioms.
