PTree stores the data as strings, and only does conversions when
inserting/extracting data. Because of this, there is no possible
interception point in XML writing to get the data you want.
You could make a PTree that has a data type other than string, but
write_xml won't work with it.
I'm sorry, but I can't think of a way to do what you want.
