  Thanks, looks good except the part about
     xmlKeepBlanksDefault(0);
there is so many side effects to this call that it's not recommended 
to suggest it in a tutorial. Indenting is a slightly controversial 
operation since it modifies the content of the document. The xmlSaveFormat
call should be sufficient for most needs I think.

  What about commiting it on the doc directory so it will end-up on the web
site ?
