What exactly do you mean?

Looks very good! Communication using UML diagrams is really nice.

The class XMLStream was renamed to XMLOutputter, after discussion with Pete.

How exactly are these formats used? I can't see a use for them. Doesn't mean 
there is none though... :-)

Is this just the Factory pattern?

See the release notes on sourceforge. Mainly rename of XMLStream to 
XMLOutputter, stag(String) to startTag(String) and etag() to endTag().
