Some years ago I proposed a XML-related APIs for inclusion into boost (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2003/06/48955.php). Everybody agreed that such APIs would be very useful as part of boost. Unfortunately, though, after some weeks of discussing a number of details, I got distracted, and so I never managed to submit an enhancement.
I'v now started to look into this topic again, and wrote down a start of a DOM-like API as I believe would be suitable for boost.
IIUC the major obstacle to XML support is proper unicode support. Don't we need a unicode library first?
Indeed this is the major stumbling block. Matthias
