Converting a XOM document to StAX events isn't really serialization to 
my way of thinking. The SAXConverter isn't a serializer either. 
Serialization to me means converting to a byte stream or perhaps 
character stream. Now that I think about it I could see an event 
sequence might be interpreted as a serial sequence of events, but that's 
certainly not how Serializer was designed. I think this would need to be 
a separate class.
