New issue 219 by jonathan.skeet: Cleaner Period XML serialization
http://code.google.com/p/noda-time/issues/detail?id=219

Our currently-documented XML serialization strategy for Period is to have a
separate property of type PeriodBuilder. However, there's a cleaner
alternative which would work under .NET:

[XmlElement(typeof(Period.XmlSerializationSupport))
public Period Foo { get; set; }

Here, Period.XmlSerializationSupport would be a mutable class which just
wrapped a Period field. It looks like this doesn't work under Mono though,
so we'd need careful documentation and we'd want to keep the PeriodBuilder
serialization support.

It's not clear why this would work, actually - I believe it's actually
meant to be for inheritance scenarios. I think we're better off with the
PeriodBuilder approach - it's slightly ugly, but it's simple.
