Yes, see the 'streaming' example.

This is a Xerces-C++ limitation that we are planning to fix for the next
release (i.e., allow serialization of an XML fragment as if it was in
a context of some outer element). For now, depending on how your schema,
uses XML namespaces, you may have to live with some extra namespace 
information.
