Thatt's certainly a possibility. It does not offend my sense of 
aesthetics. I think the Apache org.apache.xml.serialize package uses 
something like this. I didn't do it yet, mostly to keep things 
simple. I may actually hold off on implementing it until somebody 
needs to use it and asks for it.  :-)
