XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["David Bullock" <db AT dawnbreaks.net>]

Just reporting that my use-case, where I am using XOM as part of an XML
templating scheme, isn't handled by Serializer.  Not willing to write my
own, I figured I'd just complain about it :-)

Specifically, it would have been useful if:

a) Serializer took a java.io.Writer in one of its constructors, since this
is all that pageContext.getOut() can supply me with;

b) writeElement() [?]  was public

I coped anyhow, using Node.toXML(), but I did begrudge the StringBuffering
(or StringBuildering) that inevitably is incurred.

To be fair, when and if the memory footprint really starts to hurt, I'll
probably go with StAX instead, but I found Node.query(String xpath)
compelling enough to stay with XOM for now (I guess that means that actually
I would migrate to TrAX rather than StAX).  I found it to be a nice feature,
thanks.

cheers,
David.
