Re: [boost] scope of ptree-xml parser

Right. FWIW, I think Dan Nuffer's XML parser is not a hack. The spirit XML parsers implement the full XML grammar.

My knowledge of XML is limited, but I think Dan Nuffer's parser will parse any valid XML. read_xml however discards all that goes beyond nodes, attributes, data and comments. Best regards, Marcin
