the generic way of adding products is,

context.manage_addProduct['ProductName'].manage_addProductFactoryName(args)

the actual factory name and args is idiosyncratic to the particular product, a 
quick source inspection reveals the answer.

depends on what you want to do with it. if you want to use various xml tech. 
with it such as xpath/xslt than its probably better to keep it in a parsed 
xml object (assuming the tool(s) for using those technologies support parsed 
xml). personally, i'm an xml luddite, so i generally convert from xml to an 
object model via sax.

hth,
