and suggested a formatting instruction as a solution.

My inclination would be to simply use a make sequence, as in 

(element A
  (make element gi: "a"
    (make sequence
      (make element gi: "x")
      (process-children)
    )
  )
)

(element B
  (make element gi: "b")
)

Am I missing something?
