Why do you think you need to do this?  Are you sure you don't want plain
old minidom?  For one thing, you're looking for minidom APIs on a 4DOM
instance (well, almost: it's toxml() on minidom, not writexml() ).

Warning: 4DOM is very slow.  It's claim to fame used to be compliance,
but now it has been superseded in that regard by Andrew Clover's pxdom.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't recommend 4DOM to anyone for anything right
now.
