How to automate pasting an increasing list of integers?

I often need to make a large list of XML quickly and was wondering if there is a fast way to do this with VIM. For example suppose I have the XML:

<user>user1</user>

<user>user2</user>

<user>user3</user>

But I want to quickly make 100 users. I know I can quickly paste 97 copies of "<user>user1</user>" and then go and manually change this number to 4, 5, 6, ... etc. But is there anyway way to also automate the increasing list of integers?
