Don't use XmlRoot with .webpart files

Just noticed using an [XmlRoot("MyRoot")] attribute on my webpart class in conjunction with a .webpart file (as opposed to a .dwp file) gives me this error when attempting to add the webpart to a page:

Incompatible Web Part markup detected. Use *.dwp Web Part XML instead of *.webpart Web Part XML.

Incompatible_web_part_markup_detected

Well I don't want to use *.dwp Web Part XML so I removed the XmlRoot attribute instead. I'm feeling wild, you see.
