I think you need to choose one or the other.

(1) Do you want to write your template in XmlBuilder style?

In that case, you can't embed <% .. %>. However you don't need to, as a
builder template is just Ruby code. If you want to write "for blee in
@blees" you just write that; there's no need to encode it in Erb-style tags.

(2) Do you want to write your template in Erb style? In that case the
template would look something like

<blees>
  <% for blee in @blees %>
  <blee>
    <%=h blee.name %>
  </blee>
</blees>

However if you do this, and your template is called blees.erb, then until
recently Merb would send it as text/html rather than text/xml. That's what
ticket 162 is about.
