I think it could be done like this:

import cgi

def generateXML(self):
	e=cgi.escape
	props=[]
	for (key, item) in self._properties.items():
		props.append('<property name="%s">%s</property>' % (e(key),e(item))
	return('''<?xml version="1.0"?>
                   <root>%</root>
		''' % ''.join(props))
		
But maybe cgi can't be imported with ZClasses. I don't like them, 
you could try programming real python products.
