Description

I have a CombinedConfiguration created from two XmlConfiguration objects. I want to output the combined XML of the CombinedConfiguration, but this doesn't currently seem possible.

The CombinedConfiguration, through the NodeCombiner, seems to merge the hierarchy internally in any case, so I don't really see massive problem with outputting it as an XML. Logically the test would be:

String xml = CombinedConfiguration.toXml();
CombinedConfiguration == XmlConfiguration(xml)

So the that outputted XML of the CombinedConfiguration would be logically the same as the CombinedConfiguration.
