outerHTML on an XML document is defined as an XML serialization, and outerHTML
on an HTML document is defined as an HTML serialization.

You can use the XMLSerializer interface to get an XML serialization of an HTML
document, but there is no equivalent way to get an HTML serialization of an XML
document.

Additionally/alternatively, it would be nice if you could just clone an XML
document from an HTML document and vice-versa, without having to go through a
string serialization.
