I would appreciate if anybody interested into a future boost.xml submission would have a look, provide feedback, or even get involved into the (ongoing) development.
I have to admit I am a bit confused by the interface. For example, the first thing I see is that all nodes are actually pointers. Of course, they don't really appear as pointers, but they are. If I copy a node object, both copies still reference the same node. While it is natural for the node_ptr type, it is not really for the node one. (to be honest, I don't really understand their relationship after a few minutes looking at the code) Plus, we're stuck with a pseudo-upcasting thingy (which cannot return NULL/valid pointer and necessarily throws) instead of a nicer visitation mechanism. There doesn't seem to be an iteration/cursor mechanism that can iterate through the whole tree either, like boost.tree has.
