You should use the xmlable typeclass for this.  The xmlable typeclass 
is only in the version of term_to_xml that comes with the release of 
the day, not version 0.12.x.

You can have a look at extras/windows_installer_generator (also in the 
rotd) for an example of how to use the xmlable typeclass.
