Yes, but the question is whether such old versions of XML-Writer can still be
found in the wild. Furthermore, a user installing my module from CPAN will
normally install the latest version of XML-Writer, with which my module can work
perfectly fine. So I'd rather not get such failure reports, just because
someone is trying to build unrealistic situations.
