[Catalyst] Generating a large XML document (KML file) from a database

[Lukas Thiemeier]

I once had a similar problem, and solved it by using an ordinary TT View
which rendered the XML, and stashing the required resultset.

It worked fine for me, but my xml structure was very simple. It just
contained lots of data. I don't know if this is an option for you. If
your xml is very complex or dynamic, creating the templates can be a pain!
