  The simplest is to use xmlNodeDump() and get the string from the buffer.
If you really want to serialize to a given buffer without copy, the best is
to build an xmlOutputBufferPtr() specific to the semantic needed and then
use xmlNodeDumpOutput(), but this require you write the specific callbacks
for the xmlOutputBufferPtr semantic.
