serialization/object persistance (via iostreams)

Super. This is probably my #1 internal facility that I'd like to boostify. That and layerable streams (eg. serial objects, via compression, then encryption, over a network socket, etc).
network socket iostreams
There has been work on this, but it seems stalled...

Looks very similar to the article I just read in CUJ (Dec 01) on the very topic. If my iostreams kung-fu wasn't so weak, I'd try moving over my socket stuff over.
All the libraries you mention would be valuable in boost in my view -- contributions appreciated. See http://www.boost.org/more/submission_process.htm if you haven't already.
Neato, I just might do that. -- // scopira.org | ninjacoder.com //
