That will just give you short strings.

I was under the impression that he wants the serialized result
tree to be subjected to the hard limit. For example, this is undesirable:

<html>
     <head>
           <title>this title is less than 60 characters</title>
     </head>
     ....

It would need to have <title> wrapped onto 2 lines because even though the
text in the title is short, the line of output (including start/end tags
and indenting) exceeds the 60 character limit.
