Just a general question,

Could one use Boost.Regex to build a Well-Formed and Validating XML parser whose view is iterators to elements inside the XML document?

In other words, create a class that acts like an XML parser so that you may derive from it to say create a XMPP class?

I don't think you could with regex because regex is not recursive. However, you could make one in Spirit easily enough. Or just use one of the thousands that already exist. :)
