This is not a workaround, this is how TextSerializer is *supposed* to work. 
Unfortunately, this is not documented well. Thus, I'm changing bug title.

I don't think it is of value, because Cocoon does *not* perform any validation 
of XML, and it is not Cocoon's responsibility. And text nodes before any 
element is clear indication of invalid XML.

Solution can be to write a WellformednessCheckTransformer or 
WellformednessCheckSAXConnector (proposed recently on cocoon-dev).
