I think it is nice to use a generic lxml library to generate XML documents. About the existing XML documents generation like vmTemplate._get_cdrom_xml(), networkxml.to_network_xml() &etc, do you have plane to convert them to use lxml library?

not plane. will refactor these old code later.

I just use it in new my new patch.

You can refactor these old code with lxml.

As we all know there is a issue about generate and manipulate XML documents
https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/issues/124

IMO, lxml is a good choice.
you can see this patch:
$ git show 69edfe9
Mark use it to generate XML documents.

And for manipulate XML documents, here is a example.
$ ipython -c 'from lxml import objectify
root = objectify.fromstring("<root><a k=\"key\">24.12.2000<b>12.24.2000</b></a></root>")
print root.a
print root.a.b
print root.a.get("k")
'

result：
24.12.2000
12.24.2000
key
