	Serialize the document element node
	instead of the root node:

	    package require dom
	    set doc [dom::DOMImplementation create]
	    dom::node appendChild $doc [dom::document createElement $doc FOO]

	    # To include <!DOCTYPE ...> declaration:
	    dom::DOMImplementation serialize $doc

	    # To omit it:
	    dom::DOMImplementation serialize \
	    	[dom::document cget $doc -documentElement]
			.

Thank you, Joe.

What I really need is more XML documentation.  In fact,
I've been doing the serialize-the-document trick, and
thinking of it as a trick; apparently I wasn't so ori-
ginal.

What puzzles me, though, is that I see in the WSDL world,
for example,
  <?xml version='1.0'>
  <!-- what happened to the DOCTYPE? -->
  <wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/'>
    ...
  </wsdl:definitions>  
What is *that*?  Is there some name for version-element-plus-
serialized-document?  Is there a clever way to generate it?

Quite-unrelated question:  has anyone written
  WSDL::pretty_print node
to supplement
  WSDL::serialize node
?  The former would, I imagine, indent elements proportionally
to their depth, and perhaps prettify attribute punctuation, and
so on.  Would such a thing interest anyone else, if I write it?
