Every XSD-generated class can be serialized into a DOMElement. So the
idea is to create a DOMDocument, serialize your sub-tree into it, and
finally serialize DOMDocument to string (using std::ostringstream).

An example that is the closest to what you are trying to do is 'messaging'.
In particular, it shows how to create a DOMDocument instance and how
to save it to std::ostream (the function that does that is in the
dom-serialize.?xx files). The only bit that will be different in
your case is the serialization of the sub-tree. It will look like
this:

const foo& f = ...; // Your sub-tree.
*doc->getDocumentElement () << x;

Probably because it cannot parse/understand the templates that are used
to implement sequences. Maybe upgrading to a more recent version will
help.
