hello,
In order to have a look to sld xml file, I did that :
  public static void dumpStyle(Style style,Writer writer )
     {
         
if (writer == null)
         {
             dumpStyle(style);
             return;
         }
         SLDContent styleContent = new SLDContent();
         try {
         // save the state of the style
         XMLMemento memento = XMLMemento.createWriteRoot
("styleEntry"); //$NON-NLS-1$
         styleContent.save(memento, style);
         memento.save(writer);
         writer.close
();
     } catch (IOException e) {
         System.out.println(  "dumpStyle");
         e.printStackTrace();
     }
     
}
and that
  public static void dumpStyle(Style style )
     {
         SLDContent styleContent = new SLDContent();
     try {
         // save the state of the sty                                le
         XMLMemento memento = XMLMemento.createWriteRoot
("styleEntry"); //$NON-NLS-1$
         styleContent.save(memento, style);
         StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
         memento.save(writer);
      System.out.println(  writer.getBuffer().toString());
         writer.close();
     
} catch (IOException e) {
         System.out.println(  "dumpStyle");
         e.printStackTrace();
     }
     }
the result (the begining of the file) is :
<?xml version="
1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<styleEntry type="SLDStyle" version="1.0"><?xml version="
1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><sld:NamedLayer
gml"><sld:UserStyle><sld:Name>Default Styler</
sld:Name><sld:Title>Default Styler</
sld:Title><sld:Abstract></
sld:Abstract><sld:FeatureTypeStyle><sld:FeatureTypeName>F
eature</
sld:FeatureTypeName><sld:Rule><sld:Name>name</
sld:Name><sld:Abstract>Abstract</
sld:Abstract><sld:Title>title</
not a good result definitly...
i tried to understand why and fall into SLDContent :
public void save( IMemento momento, Object value ) {
         Style style = (Style) value;
         // serialize out the style objects
         SLDTransformer sldWriter = new SLDTransformer();
         String out = ""; //$NON-NLS-1$
         try {
             out = sldWriter.transform
(style);
         } catch (TransformerException e) {
             SLDPlugin.log(null, e);
             
e.printStackTrace();
         } catch (Exception e) {
             SLDPlugin.log(null, e);
         }
         momento.putTextData(out);
         momento.putString("type", "SLDStyle"); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-
NLS-2$
         momento.putString("version", "1.0"); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-
NLS-2$
     }
when you use
-momento.putTextData
(out);
with an XMLMemento, the DOMWriter use getEscaped() function if it
crosses a TEXT element
so the < and the > are trashed into > and <
...
As a side effect when i open the style editor i got this eerror :
Unable to create view: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element type
"ogc:PropertyIsLike" must be followed by either attribute
specifications, ">" or "/>".
with
