Hello

Did you try to use the Xerces-Xalan parser embedded in jdk :
com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serialize.XMLSerializer ?

There is the method :
*serializeElement<http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-j/apiDocs/org/apache/xml/serialize/XMLSerializer.html#serializeElement%28org.w3c.dom.Element%29>
*(Element<http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-j/apiDocs/org/w3c/dom/Element.html>
 elem)
          Called to serialize a DOM element.

And you can specify an output format (with indent = true) and an
outputstream.

I find strange that your create a QName from nothing, usually a markup is
associated to a context document. You may have troubles with the namespaces
declaration ? That may be a problem in the future if you want to interact
with some systems of implicit namespaces declarations like ones discussed
here.

Hope it helps
