Hi,
	Thanks very much for you help. Your XmlSerialization module sounds like 
great idea.  Some what similar to the WDDX extension in PHP. The only problem 
I might forsee is the lack of control over how the document is created. For 
example: If I needed each document to have an additional processing 
instruction:

	<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
	<!-- Additional processing instruction -->
	<?xml-stylesheet type="text/html" href="document.xsl"?>
	<root></root>

	Apart from the above, I can see this module would save me a lot of work in 
the long run.

Best Regards,
Oliver.
