Anyway to use media formatters to extend the serialization/deserialization of the built in ones. Such as text/xml, text/json, etc. Or is there a better route to go?

Is this line:

"In this example, the formatter can serialize single Contact objects as well as collections of Contact objects. "

suppose to read:

"In this example, the formatter can serialize single Product objects as well as collections of Product objects. "

Can we use this to provide an alternate handler for already supported formats (eg. XML) to add support for object types that the .NET XML serializers don't support (eg. dynamic / ExpandoObject)?

Now that you all are using Json.NET for JSON format, my API can output ExpandoObject as JSON but not as XML (internal server error 500). Was wondering if I could use this to plug in something like JsonFx which says it supports outputting XML and Expando...
