That will be the job of the
IFSerializer. So IFRenderer will not subclass AbstractXMLRenderer.
Apart from that, I also completely forgot about the SVGRenderer
(currently still in the sandbox).
Not sure, but that one could be considered an AbstractXMLRenderer as
well.
And yes, I agree that it's not really a bad thing to have lots of
abstractions, as long as they're actually useful.
If you have only one class that extends it, and there's no immediate
benefit, it's worth to stop and think for a second...
Considering the above: even if not useful for the new IF, there does
seem to be potential benefit for rendering to XML formats.
