//! Traits for serializing elements.
//!
//! The serializer expects the data to be xml-like (with a name,
//! and optional children, attrs, text, comments, doctypes, and [processing instructions]). It uses
//! the visitor pattern, where the serializer and the serializable objects are decoupled and
//! implement their own traits.
