1 more question? Hmmm so for I have received submissions for serialization of optional, scoped_ptr, date_time library among others. These are from people who needed to serialize other boost objects that they use. I've stopped incorporating them as the library is getting too big for me to manage. If this library is ever accepted, serialization of boost components will have to be a responsibility separate from the serialization library itself. After, they are really applications of the serialization library rathet than components of the library.
I agree that the serialization for items like date-time should be part of date-time and not serialization. I was planning on working on the changes for date-time as part of my 'evaluation' of the new serialization. Jeff
