This sounds like a good idea.

OMOutputFormat is really a property bag for helping with the serialization of the OMNode.
Extending the class to include generic properies is a step in the right direction.

> The proposal is to add two new methods to OMOutputFormat:
> Object getProperty(String key)
> Object setProperty(String key, Object value)
> This would provide a simple extension mechanism. This would be useful for the following use case: when serializing a tree containing OMSourcedElement nodes, the serialization of these nodes is actually handled by the backing OMDataSource objects. These objects receive a reference to the OMOutputFormat and custom implementations could use the proposed extension mechanism to allow better control of the serialization.
> Note that since OMOutputFormat is a concrete class, adding the get/setProperty methods would not impact existing code.
