Add an xml declaration at the top of your pt..:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

..and off you go adding a root element and childs! Page templates are 
XML themselves, basically, and are designed to render XML.

You might need to set the response content type header explicitly in you 
view component, something like so..:

   def update(self):
     self.request.response.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml")

..where the actual content type might of course be even more specific 
than that.
