1. New serializeDocument(Elem, OutputStream) to be used with OutputStreams. …

   Uses the character encoding of the XMLSerializer.
   
   Motivation: when XMLSerializer is created, an encoding is specified. This
   encoding is used when writing the XML declaration. Using the
   serializeDocument(Elem, Writer) can lead to a stupid-user-error where the
   encoding given and the encoding of the Writer (e.g. OutputStreamWriter) are not
   the same.
   
   For example, on a platform, whose default encoding is ISO-8859-1, the following
   innocent looking code would lead to a disaster:
   
   XMLSerializer("UTF-8", true).serializeDocument(root, new OutputStreamWriter(myOutputStream))
   
   In the above, the declaration written by XMLSerializer would state "UTF-8", but
   the data written by the Writer would be in ISO-8859-1.
