As a developer, I want to be able to serialise simple objects (POCOs) into XML for storage/transmission and deserialise them back into an instance of the type of the original object.

Allowing any simple POCO to be serialized to XML using a generic typed extension method.

// Expected usage
string xml = myObj.ToXML(); // "xml" should be an XML representation of the object

var newObj = xml.FromXml<MyObj>() 
// newObj should be an object of type MyObj with properties set as they were in myObj above


// Also...

string xml = myObj.ToXML<MyObj>(); // The same as myObj.ToXML(), but allows other properties from parent classes

Should also allow the use of and honor XmlElement and XmlAttribute attributes on properties.
