   of course, you asked to serialize an XML document, not to save the
result of an XSLT transformation for which you still need the stylesheeet
to know the xsl:output informations
  you must use the style.saveResultTo...() methods to produce the
serialization of the result of an XSLT transformation.
  That should have been obvious if you had spent the time to read 
the existing examples or the on-line documentation :-(
