I know, and sorry for being too cursory to be clear. My point was  
more about how if you want to produce XML, why not use... XML! E4X  
requires the browser to be updated, which means it'll be a while  
before it's widely useable, but there are other options that are also  
more readable than method calls nested twelve times. For instance the  
various Javascript templating libraries could come in quite useful  
there I'd say.
