    # Builds an XML document to represent the model.   Some configuration is
    # availble through +options+, however more complicated cases should use 
    # override ActiveRecord's to_xml.
    #
    # By default the generated XML document will include the processing 
    # instruction and all object's attributes.  For example:
    #    
    #   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    # This behavior can be controlled with :only, :except,
    # :skip_instruct, :skip_types and :dasherize.  The :only and
    # :except options are the same as for the #attributes method.
    # The default is to dasherize all column names, to disable this,
    # set :dasherize to false.  To not have the column type included
    # in the XML output, set :skip_types to true.
    #
    # For instance:
    #
    #   topic.to_xml(:skip_instruct => true, :except => [ :id, :bonus_time, :written_on, :replies_count ])
