Does this mean if I want to serialise an NSManagedObject I still have to create my own serialising functions? Or have I missed something fundamental?

Just that I find it strange the 'XML Archiving' done by the NSPersistentStoreCoordinator isn't available on a per NSManagedObject basis.

Core Data provides object *graph* management. What would you want it to do when your object has relationships to other objects (which have relationships to other objects, etc.)?

If you are only interested in serializing the attributes, not the relationships, you can use the entity description along with key value coding to get the values in a generic way. Then serialize them into your favorite format.
