But test suites will soon be generated based on spec links. So if it's external to the test file then we need to specify the option on a per spec link basis.
Even then, some test may refer to parsing sections of other specs as secondary links and may not really have a 'don't re-serialize me' requirement.
Since we really only need it for tests that are deliberately non-well formed (or otherwise stress a markup parser), I'd like to have it a per-test option.
