Here is a quick and dirty draft of a xml generator that uses the with statement:
http://twoday.tuwien.ac.at/pub/files/XmlMarkup (ZIP, 3 KB)
It is inspired by rubies XmlMarkup class.
Brief usage:

from __future__ import with_statement
from XmlMarkup  import *
import sys
with XmlMarkup(sys.stdout) as xm:
  with xm.root:
      xm.text('foo')
      with xm.prefixMapping('x','http://example.com/x'):
      	with xm.tag.ns('http://example.com/x'):
      		xm.comment('comment')
      	with xm['text']:
      		xm.text('bar')
      with xm.tag(foo='bar',egg='spam'):
      	pass
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>foo<x:tag
xmlns:x="http://example.com/x"><!--comment--></x:tag><text>bar</text><tag
foo="bar" egg="spam"></tag></root>
[...]

What do you think? :)

Something similar, but without namespace handling:

(I like that you have a class called 'maybe' :-)
