     Well, this can in fact be quite tricky to do "right".
It should be pretty simple for you to use a DOM serializer
(batik.dom.util.DOMUtilities) to do turn the DOM tree into
text and then do the same thing as View Source does (see
batik.apps.svgbrowser.JSVGViewerFrame:1448).

     However the really tricky bit is the CSS.  So this view
would accurately reflect the DOM but not the CSS values.  We
have considered different ways to do this "correctly" but
it is in fact very difficult to do.
