How does your intended solution differ from (or compare to) simply writing documents as a (possibly renamed) .zip file?
Or maybe standardising (as such) an interface for this is the purpose of your submission?

I think this is leaning towards my thinking as well: I'd be more interested in a library that forms a generic interface to any hierarchical structured file (tar, zip, compound files, etc), than a library that just did one particular format. ie a common interface with "pluggable" back-ends for various formats. Would that be possible? That would seem more "Boost-ish" to me. Tony
