I don't understand the patch anymore. I don't see any use of `*item` in the code.

I run some testing and you can't use '*item' XML parser reject it. So I modified it to convert it to an array.. Look at the test script change

So, you probably need to change the CHANGELOG as well? You should add an example which shows a before/after example.

There are other meta-names available in the XmlEncoder, @-something for attributes, then there is something happening with a # but I'm not quite sure what. I'm just saying, maybe *item isn't the best name, if it introduces a third metacharacter. Apart from that I'm fine with it.

Maybe we can rename it to `wildcard` instead

Any chance we can push this throw?

here is the old PR #2682
@Seldaek: i think your comment was made for an older version of the patch.
overall I am fine with the change, the Serializer component takes a fairly simple approach. it is also not designed to really produce XML or JSON cleanly from the same data. it will really only be able to output a clean API for one or the other with the same data structure.
