Since it is indeed a little more work, there have also been solutions
developed for this already. Personally I think this library looks nice
for the purpose:

http://tpl.sourceforge.net/ (tpl)

But there are also:

http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=about/efl/eet&l=en (Eet)
http://s11n.net/c11n/ (libc11n)

However I prefer doing it manually since, as somebody said before,
that makes it easier to remain backwards compatible and allows you to
vary the contents of a message more easily.
