No problem, just a lack of volunteers. Remember, Xerces is open-source
code. If you see that something is needed, and nobody else is doing it,
_volunteer!_.

Xalan-C has an XML serializer that might be adaptable to the Xerces-C DOM.
Xerces-J has an XML serializer that might be translatable to C++.
Or someone might want to try to synthesize the best of both worlds.

That's true. DOM Level 3 expects to address this.

Not on the Xerces DOM, but as noted above Xerces-J ships with a serializer
package and there's no reason Xerces-C couldn't, if someone wrote it.
