Elegant way to tests an XMLElement's "string"`

Hi folks,

I am writing SUnit tests for my PEG grammar and I am not fluent in Streams.

I have my first test that checks the structure of an HTML UnorderedList.
The output of the parse run is an XMLElement.

*testListUnordered
               
        <timeout: 10>
        | xmlElement actor ios|

        actor := PEGWikiMediaGeneratorTables new.
        actor transcripton: false.
        xmlElement := parser parse: 'UnorderedList' stream: (self listUnordered)
reading actor: actor.
        ios := ReadWriteStream on:''.
        xmlElement printOn: ios.
        self assert: ((ios contents) = '<ul><li> one</li><ul><li> two</li><ul><li>
three</li><ul><li> four</li><li> four</li><ul><li> five</li><li>
five</li><li> five</li></ul><li> four</li><li> four</li></ul><li>
three</li><li> three</li></ul><li> two</li></ul></ul>') .
*


Is there a simpler way, minus the Stream to get the "contents" of the
XMLElement?

thanks in advance.
