I'm curious as to why spirit - which includes an XML parser - has not been mentioned.
probably because the focus is more on a DOM API, i.e. an in-memory representation of an XML infoset, and ways to manipulate that. How to actually construct the document is secondary, and only relevant because typically parsers are an integral part of XML (DOM) libraries. It was suggested a number of times to use bgl to represent the DOM, and build it with spirit. I think whatever API we settle on such a configuration should definitely work, though I doubt it will be worth the efford, given how much domain-specific additions are required, for example when implementing xpath support, or the required http support to query dtds, xincluded documents, etc., etc. Regards, Stefan
