Actually, if the server side system you are using understands XML well, you can load the XML file into an XML document, *append* the new <Level> with its subnodes, and then write the XML document back out as XML text. Trivial to do in ASP.NET or JSP. Not very hard to do in classic ASP. You then don't have to parse the XML in the file by hand to try and find the closing tag.

(I don't use PHP, so I don't know where this is easy or hard there. If it's not easy--assuming you have the right libraries--I would be surprised.)
