It is possible, via serialization functions.

In XML Schema, only global elements can be document roots. If you don't
define any, then none of your resulting XML fragments will be valid per
the schema. Plus, serialization functions also capture and create the
root element name and namespace, so that you don't have to specify it
manually every time you serialize.

Thanks, I am glad you like them.
