Maybe this question has been answered already but I wasn't able to
find it.

How can I use spaces in tag names?
For example <Purge Date>

I've tried XmlWriter.WriteStartElement and
XmlWriter.WriteElementString but they output the name as it is, which
is incorrect from xml syntax point of view.

You can use XmlConvert.EncodeName("Purge Date"), see
<URL:http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlconvert.encodename.aspx>,
the result is then "Purge_x0020_Date".
