Re: Object with a toXML method

Niell,
You are correct. That feature is there. I personally don't like the code it
generates, but it's just a preference thing.

I'm mainly adding this feature for use in AJAX requests. Just trying to
limit all the hand-coded XML. It could however be very useful for passing
objects back and forth though.
