You can create #asXMLDOMElement foreach Object, so that calling it will  
recurse trough sub objects... a theroic example:

SchoolClass asXMLDOMElement
	"create your dom element"
	^ anXMLDOMElement add: (self students collect: [ :ea | ea  
asXMLDOMElement]); yourself

Student asXMLDOM asXMLDOMElement
	"create your dom element here"
	^ anXMLDOMElement

- Note that i never created an XMLDOMElement so i really don't know what's  
the method to add sub elements -
