I do mean render as some syntax, could be XML, HTML, PDF, etc. Which is
where XSLT would probably mean output.

I dislike serialization because there's a lot of demand for what Java
referes to as serialization, which works on the state of an object, not
a DOM. In my opinion it will create confusion. In the Java case, it will
also work both way: serialize and unserialize, in the XML case there's
only output.
