Hello Murray,

The code you cited appears to be over four years old [1], so this doesn't sound like new behaviour. Regardless of when this was introduced, it isn't likely to change now. Both the HTMLSerializer and XHTMLSerializer were deprecated in Xerces 2.6.2. We've been encouraging users to migrate their code to use the standard JAXP Transformation API. If you're interested about the future of Xerces serializers see this post [2] to xalan-dev from February of this year.

Michael,

Thanks very much for this information, I wasn't aware of this switch
at all. I'd originally written my own serializer, and converted to
using the Xerces serializer last fall. I'll look into converting
over to Xalan's code. Hopefully it provides the necessary controls
that are there in the Xerces serializer. Xalan is already part of my
code base since I'm also using Xindice, so at least I won't be
increasing my jar library by 3MB just for the serializer. It would
be unfortunate for anyone who only needed serialization.

Thanks very much for your help,

Murray
