Expat is an XML parser and does not deal with generation of XML at all.  I 
think many people simply use whatever form of print statement is available in 
their chosen language (Expat is used from many), or, for more complicated 
systems, select a separate library for generating XML.

There's not much that's shared between XML parsing and XML generation, so 
there's little incentive to combine the two for low-level libraries like 
Expat.
