I'm terribly sorry for answering to this so late! My inbox ate your reply, and
I just happened to check on this bug today.

The hash function that I'm relying on right now is consistent within a browser
process, but may change across platforms and browser versions.

I like your approach for having a resilient spec, and have one minor mention.
It might be better to allow the hash code to be up to 20 digits in length, to
allow UAs to use 64-bit hashes.

I agree that this might be overkill. You can always spec that serialization
should throw an exception in this case, and I'd be happy to implement just that
:) I don't think this should break too much of the Web, because right now
Chrome and Safari basically generate invalid XML in this case.
