Fair enough.  In that case, it needs to be an architectural principle
that nothing else in XOM depends on the behavior of Serializer, since
the user can't replace it.  Currently, it is invoked from various
nu.xom.{tests,benchmarks,samples} classes, which are no problem, and is
subclassed by CanonicalXMLSerializer, which at first glance, at least,
doesn't appear to gain much by the relationship, and in fact has to
override some methods with no-ops.

Please do release your existing code, as someone may find it useful,
and in the samples package you aren't committed to it as part of the API.
