I think we should remove the if (value instanceof Serializable) check.  
I am not really in favour of the IPersistable check (as that only allows 
people to archive classes that they have made themselves (if they were 
working with a third party library they would not be able to "store" the 
objects being created).

I would recommend something like StyleContent; that was just concerned 
with reading and writing ... it would be up to the person implementing 
this class to look at the object and store or retrieve an instance from 
the memento.
