The from the XML file is all stored in the database anyway. You increase the risk of bugs and errors if you try and write the file yourself.
I don't see why you want to go and spend the time writing it out character by character, at the end of the day its just going to be fed straight back into vBulletin.
The XML file itself is used only once and probably not even see by the user, once you import a product you can edit everything through the AdminCP anyway.
