Description:
DOM L/S PR clarification to LSSerializer states that "Entity Reference nodes 
with no children (no corresponding Entity node or the corresponding Entity 
nodes have no children) are always serialized." [1]

Currently, EntityReference nodes are serialized as an entity reference of the 
form "&entityName;" in the output only if the parameter 'entities' is set to 
true.  In the event that an Entity Reference node has no children 
and 'entities' is false, we break from the method without having serialized 
anything.

Proposed patch serializes the EntityReference node in the form "&entityName;" 
if 'entities' parameter is true or if the EntityReference has no children 
(checked by seeing if node.getFirstChild returns null - I think this should 
accurately cover the 'childless' scenario, or else we could check that 
node.getChildNodes().length()==0)

Also, minor PR change to LSSerializer.write:  When writing to a LSOutput, it 
may be required to look for encoding information by looking at 
Document.inputEncoding (was Document.actualEncoding)    [1]
