XmlTextWriter Encoding and Serialization

[Ayende Rahien]

Two questions:
I've a XmlTextWriter that I want to use to build a string in memory.
However, when I'm using a StringWriter, the xml comes out at UTF-16, which
isn't good for me.
Currently, I solved the problem by using XmlDocument, but it seems a waste
to use that if I can use XmlWriter.
I tried to spesify the encoding, and then it complained about needing a
Stream and not a TextWriter.
I *must* have this in memory, writing to file is not an option in this case.
I tried using MemoryStream, but I can't seem to get the Xml out.
How do I do this?

Second question:
I've a type that was built from xsd schema, when I try to serialize it I get
an error (need to add XmlInclude), why?
The first two lines where added by xsd.exe, the third I added, but I still
get this error, why? And how to solve it?
I thought that if I define my type as xsd schema I wouldn't have a problem
serializing it, which was the whole point in doing this.

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlInclude(typeof(Feed))]
