It'sa  good question. This is perhaps not as trivial as it should be. 
I suspect you might get what you want by subclassing Serializer just 
to make the write(Element) method public, and the calling that 
repeatedly.

I'm currently thinking about major changes for the Serializer class. 
I'll take this into consideration,. It's all grist for the mill.
