because this breaks caching.

however, i think there are actually 2 use cases. the first is that you
need the deep serialization of a tree, e.g. a page, or an exploded
xml, or a dialog node structure description.... in this case you
always want a depth=infinity. the other one is the 'browsing' use case
where you only need the node and it's properties (and the names of the
childnodes!). so this is a special case anyways. this would be like
depth=0.5 :-)

so is there really a use case for depth=0 (i.e. node+properties)  ?
or is depth=0 just the node name, depth=1 the node name and it's
properties and it's childnode names? etc. ?
