I'll leave that for Franck to answer.

There is an XSLT-inspired (*) serializer that you can use if you want full
control over the output. See
http://www.gobosoft.com/eiffel/gobo/xml/xslt/xslt_serializer.html .

It's actually the serializer used by the Gobo XSLT library, but you do
not need to run an XSLT transformation to use it.
