Boost already has Regex. What is different about xpressive?

I can not take part in full review for variety of reasons (primary I have little knowledge of the problem domain and I'm on vacation now), but there is something very important about xpressive - it provides static (compile-time) regular expressions.

I understand that and that seems sufficiently different from Regex, but does xpressive not also duplicate the runtime functionality in Regex, Regex being a candidate for standardisation? regards Andy Little
