You may find this doesn't work if you try running your app on another 
platform. I still recommend feeding the serializer an OutputStream ( i.e. 
serializerOut.setByteStream(new FileOutputStream(outputFile)); ). There 
are good reasons for using a Writer but it's often the wrong choice.

See DocumentBuilder.parse(InputSource). An LSInput contains all of the 
fields of an InputSource and has a few more of its own.

Yes.

Well... It also has capabilities which a DocumentBuilder doesn't have such 
as filtering and asynchronous parsing.
