Just to clarify, my point is that I'd expect something called "XMLSerializer" to generate XML. If it does not do this, then it should surely be called just plain "Serializer". And therefore, being called XMLSerializer and not outputting XML must therefore be a bug?

Additionally, I can't think-of/find a viable alternative or work-around (tree-walking, DOM copying is kind of slow!). For my use-case, I need well-formed XML in order to push it through an XSL transformation. Conversely, if XMLSerializer actually output XML, it would be trivial to convert XHTML to HTML using a simple XSL transformation.
