You'd get the result of a toString of said object, unless you define a
Binding for it... but a binding requires a schema, which it seems you don't
have.
Or, you can write a EncoderDelegate, and register it in every point where
the GML gets encoded, that might work, but
I don't know what GML parsers will think of that extra XML of yours, some I
guess will ignore it, some might break (you have to test it).
Where it gets really fun is with all the other output formats though:
shapefile, CSV, JSON, KML and so on. You'd basically
have to build custom support for your Document (or whatever other object)
in each and every of them, or you'll get the
toString() of the object... this is what happens if you try a WFS 2.0 join
btw, the feature collection you get has the main
feature containing the joined features as attributes, the GML enoder knows
that it to represent that structure as a GML
Tuple, all the other formats do a toString of those "strange" output and
the result is rather comic...
