  Please, never, never do that.  You are not generating correct XML
regarding XDM, but you are instead cheating with the serializer.  I
didn't look in details of what you want, but you should be able to find
another solution.

Never do which? I'm not quite sure what you're saying here. 
  If not, please post a simple excerpt of your input and your expected
output.


I receive
