    /** Class for serializing a Skeleton to/from XML.
    @remarks
        This class behaves the same way as SkeletonSerializer in the main project,
        but is here to allow conversions to / from XML. This class is 
        deliberately not included in the main project because <UL>
        <LI>Dependence on Xerces would unnecessarily bloat the main library</LI>
        <LI>Runtime use of XML is discouraged because of the parsing overhead</LI></UL>
        This class gives people the option of saving out a Skeleton as XML for examination
        and possible editing. It can then be converted back to the native format
        for maximum runtime efficiency.
