Looking over my list of possible serializers at http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/xom-interest/2002-October/000179.html , I think that most or all of them would benefit very little from subclassing Serializer.

I would only agree if TextWriter and its subclasses were public with public methods. Then I could write my own class that aggregates TextWriter like Serializer does, and then present my own public methods to help solve the particular outputting problem I was facing.

The power of TextWriter and the TextWriterFactory is having classes that takes care of character encodings for you.

So I have to ask why XOM extension writers have to be forced to use the Serialzer interface to get to this power? My serializers will still take arguments like Element, Attribute, etc., but won't necessarily write them in a purely atomic fashion, the way nu.xom.Serializer does.
