Please provide any additional information below.

I'm not sure it's ok to use html/template for xml generation, but encoding/xml provides
only xml parsing, and we may need lots of escape with text/template.

Comment 1:

html/template is not meant for XML. You'll have to use text/template and do the
escaping, annoying though that is.

Status changed to WorkingAsIntended.

Comment 2:

I would also note that encoding/xml *does* write XML.
