Couldn't we make some magic there ?
ie use __sleep() and __wake() to saveXML() when someone put the object in
session and reload it when the session is reopened ?

We'll lose all references so it can not be used to store many object
references to places in the same document, but it will be better than
nothing

There will also be no gain in speed but in doing that someone will be able
to store everything in session without handling all objects differently.
