/**
 * Delegates DataObject serialization while ensuring implementation independent 
 * java.io.Serialization.  An implementation of DataObject
 * returns an ExternalizableDelegator from its writeReplace() method.
 * 
 * The root DataObject is the object returned from do.getRootObject() where
 *   do is the DataObject being serialized in a java.io.ObjectOutputStream.
 *   When do.getContainer() == null then do is a root object.
 * 
 * The byte format for each DataObject in the stream is:
 * [0] [path] [root]   // when do is not a root object
 * [1] [rootXML]       // when do is a root object
 * 
 * where:
 * [0] is the byte 0, serialized using writeByte(0).
 * [1] is the byte 1, serialized using writeByte(1).
 *   
 * [path] is an SDO path expression from the root DataObject to the serialized 
 *          DataObject such that root.getDataObject(path) == do.
 *          Serialized using writeUTF(path).
 * 
 * [root] is the root object serialized using writeObject(root).
 * 
 * [rootXML] is the GZip of the XML serialization of the root DataObject.
 *          The XML serialization is the same as 
 *          XMLHelper.INSTANCE.save(root, "commonj.sdo", "dataObject", stream);
 *          where stream is a GZIPOutputStream, length is the number of bytes 
 *          in the stream, and bytes are the contents of the stream.
 *          Serialized using writeInt(length), write(bytes).
