If this question addresses to me, the goal of cXMLofObject() is to linearize any object and later rebuild it exactly the same using objectOfXML().
We don't care about differences but do recurse on member objects and take care of collections. The approach you suggest is perfectly fine for a 'simple' object, which is 99% of the cases. As cXMLofObject() is part of FoxInCloud, it much address up to 99.999% of the cases, even if these additional .999% are awfully expensive!
