Have you looked at load_site.py? It is included in the zope-distribution
or can be found at http://www.zope.org/Members/itamar/load_site 

It doesn't do XMLDocuments, but I found it a great help in figuring
out how to inject a bunch of external files into zope. I guess you 
just have to change the relevant lines to create XMLDocuments instead
of DTML-ones.
