watch out .. XMLELEMNEW works ony if you give XML Doc Object an argument ..
<cfset response = XMLNew()>

<cfset response.xmlRoot = XmlElemNew(response, "SyncML")>
<cfset response.SyncML.XmlChildren[1] = XmlElemNew(response, "SyncHdr")>
<cfset response_synchdr = response.SyncML.SyncHdr>

<cfset tempo = XmlElemNew(response_syncbody,"Status")>

<cfset ArrayAppend(response_syncbody.xmlChildren , tempo)>
