| * The DOMSerializer is a facet of a serializer and is obtained from the |

| * A serializer may or may not support a DOM serializer, if it does not then the |
| * return value from asDOMSerializer() is null. |

| * Example: |
| * <pre> |
| * Document doc; |
| * Serializer ser; |
| * OutputStream os; |
| * |
| * ser = ...; |
| * os = ...; |
| * |
| * ser.setOutputStream( os ); |
| * DOMSerialzier dser = ser.asDOMSerializer(); |
| * dser.serialize(doc); |
