Hi Benson, We're talking about two different implementations of the DOM Level 3 LSSerializer, the more recently developed one in Xalan (serializer.jar which Xerces now ships and shares with Xalan) and the much older deprecated one in Xerces. If you're curious about the history on that, there's an FAQ [1] on the website.
Some users have decided to keep using Xerces' deprecated serializer due to some quirks and issues with the currently available one from Xalan. Folks really should be opening JIRA issues [2] against Xalan, so those problems get addressed there. There's no intention to do any further development or fixes to the one in Xerces. Thanks.
