Do the libxml people really use a pipe? I mean, since zlib is used for loading, why not for saving? Seems weird.
Ah, but we haven't been using libxml for saving. Sodipodi had its own hand-rolled thing which we inherited.
To be fair, serializing XML is one of those things that's so trivial it's almost not worth using a library for. Doing the necessary I/O setup with libxml's serializer wouldn't be much simpler.
