To paraphrase, unnecessary parameterization is the root of most evil nowadays. Parameters are a liability, not an asset.
I'd sign that any day ! However, the primary goal behind my XML wrapper library (which, by the way, I already discussed here on the boost list to see whether there was enough interest into a general purpose C++ API for dealing with XML...) was to define an API, and to provide a sample implementation as a proof-of-concept. The fact that this particular implementation I'v been using is based on utf-8 should be transparent (though accessible). Regards, Stefan
