The serialization code in JAXP is from Xalan (the XSLT processor). It 
has some problems and gives different results in Java 1.4 and 1.5 in 
some cases.

To overcome these problems, I have made my own SAX2 XML serializer, 
Xouds. Xodus is part of the open source project LSP which can be found 
here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lspx/
