It can: I posted one to this list actually before XSLT 1.0 REC was
finished (as I noticed the other day when I tried to use it and found it
didn't conform to XSLT 1.0 as finally it came out:-)

However there's many things a serialisation function could do that are
hard to do with XSLT, basically all the attributes for xsl:output
controlling things like CDATA section use (and, possibly, in XSLT2,
other syntactic issues like entity refs), automatic indenting, etc.
maybe even serialise as html or xhtml.
