Item10935: please add topicFooter parameter

I'm on a quest to generate XML output from form data, and this plugin looked like it could do that with the least dependencies and bother. Except... there's no topicfooter parameter.

For example, I'm trying to dump out all users belonging to a particular group

<literal>
%FORMFIELDLIST{
  web="%USERSWEB%"
 topic="%GROUPINFO{"AdjustableXrayOpticsGroup" separator="," format="$username"}%"
header="<xml>$n" footer="$n</xml>$n"
topicheader="<user wikiname=\"$topicName\">"
format="<$name>$value</$name>"
separator="$n"
}%
</literal>

And it works brilliantly, except that I can't close off the user element because there's no topicfooter.

Please consider adding a topicfooter parameter.

Thanks!

Here's a version which just use core features:

%STARTSECTION{"xmlusers"}%<noautolink><literal><?xml version='1.0' encoding='%QUERY{"{Site}{CharSet}"}%'?>
<xml>
%FORMAT{
  "%GROUPINFO{"InfrastructureTaskTeamGroup" separator="," format="$wikiusername"}%"
  web="%USERSWEB%"
  type="topic"
  format="$percntINCLUDE{\"%TOPIC%\" section=\"user\" usertopic=\"$topic\"}$percnt"
}%
</xml></literal></noautolink>%ENDSECTION{"xmlusers"}%

%STARTSECTION{"user"}%%FORMAT{
  "%QUERY{"'%USERSWEB%.%usertopic%'/fields.name"}%"
  type="string"
  header="  <user wikiname='%usertopic%'>$n"
  format="    <$item>$percntQUERY{'%USERSWEB%.%usertopic%'/$item}$percnt</$item>"
  footer="$n  </user>"
}%%ENDSECTION{"user"}%
