Richard,

I'm a bit confused about the purpose of this. Are you doing this in 
order to save your assembly of morphs to a file and later reconstruct 
it? Or is this related to testing?

If it's about testing, what does converting to XML allow you to do that 
you can't do with the morphs themselves?
