If you're looking for the previous discussion on this topic the thread starts here [1]. It should be noted that both the DOM Level 3 [2] and the JAXP Transform APIs [3] require that Writers be supported for serialization. Now that standard APIs exist for XML serialization, applications should be using them instead of Xerces' internal API, so a decision on whether or not to deprecate a particular method in XMLSerializer isn't going to make much difference in the grand scheme of things. To encourage new applications to use the standard APIs, we may deprecate [4] the entire org.apache.xml.serialize package in a future release. The HTML and XHTML serializers are already deprecated.
