I don't want to say, there is no more elegant solution, but anyway: this 
is a command line output, which will generate some ambigous information 
for a file list. I cannot see now (in majority of normal use-cases) why 
an xml tag surrounding is better from a template, if the current output 
structure is flat text oriented. I prefer a full xml based resultset of 
log data, and allow xslt transformation templates on them (to generate 
command line output), but that is a bit of a cost.
I also don't want to defend my solution because it is minimal (from 
flexibility perspective).
