+ * Interface for a DOM serializer implementation.
+ * <p>
+ * The DOMSerializer is a facet of a serializer and is obtained from the
+ * asDOMSerializer() method of the Serializer interface.
+ * A serializer may or may not support a DOM serializer, if it does not then the
+ * return value from asDOMSerializer() is null.
+ * <p>
+ * Example:
+ * <pre>
+ * Document     doc;
+ * Serializer   ser;
+ * OutputStream os;
+ *
+ * ser = ...;
+ * os = ...;
+ *
+ * ser.setOutputStream( os );
+ * DOMSerialzier dser = ser.asDOMSerializer();
+ * dser.serialize(doc);
+ * </pre>
