Serialise the service network to XML.
See docs/mlt-xml.txt for more information.

+notes: >
+ If you set a data property beginning with (and longer than) "xml_retain" on
+ the service connected to this consumer where the data is a mlt_service
+ pointer, then the pointed at service will also be serialized before the
+ connected service. This can be useful, for example, to save a playlist as
+ a media bin along with a multitrack. You can serialize more than one of these
+ additional services by setting more than property, each with a unique key
+ beginning with "xml_retain".
+
bugs:
- Untested arbitrary nesting of multitracks and playlists.
- >
Property "id" is generated as service type followed by number if no
property named "id" exists, but it fails to guarantee uniqueness.

parameters:
- identifier: resource
argument: yes
