Append HTTP Status Codes to XML

Hi,

I am in the middle of putting a RESTful api together for a new app.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or experience with adding
a status code to all xml output?

So that a response that looks like

<about_me>this is a test descripton of me new line test</about_me>

Will look like


<about_me>this is a test descripton of me new line
test</about_me>

Or maybe something similar to how twitter have implemented error codes,
any suggestions?
