Yes, this is more of an architectural question. For now, you can't call
a serializer like that. And I have the perception it would be wrong to
allow you to do it.
I would simply call the the serializing code that the XML serializer
uses, it's a couple of lines of code anyway.

I'm not that sure since your outside behavior is still that of a
transformer if you are taking input and placing output.
The use of Serializers would be justified if you considered the need for
plugging in different serialization behavior, but I only see the need
for the XML serialialize, so my suggestion is to call the serialization
routines directly.

Yes, but I'd call it FS: if you need to serialize it doesn't necessarely
mean that you need a the whole abstraction of the serializer concept :)
Don't you agree?
