Just to be clear - I'm not suggesting that what you are asking for is unreasonable. It has just been solved in a slightly different way than what you are describing. I think it will meet your needs, if you can consider moving to 2.0 at this point. I understand that it is still fairly far from release, but many of the major changes are already in place. You may find that, in the long run, using the features provided by Pivot 2.0 is a better alternative than implementing a custom version of WTKXSerializer.
