It should be possible to write a new org.basex.io.serial.Serializer implementation using the same techniques as the built-in ones. Because fields like "tag" are package-private, it isn't possible (without using reflection) to create new Serializers.

I would suggest having at least one test case for each abstract class that resides in a different package. This ensures that required members are visible.
