I heavily agree on this last remark. Mr. Ramey has done a fantastic job with serialization, even with some really broken compilers, and it works
Boost.Serialization uses XML for reading and writing (besides other formats). If it's going into C++ standard (no matter if C++ 0x or TR2) then both should really go separatelym, then make serialization partly depend on XML. I mean, there is really no need to "force" someone who needs only XML to bother with whole serialization thing. Even simple XML support in the C++ standard library would be a good thing. And this obviously will require unicode encoding (like UTF-8) support in the standard. B.
