I wish people would stop being so parser-focussed. I reiterate: the API I suggest is about manipulating a DOM tree. The fact that you *might* want to construct it from an XML file by means of a parser is almost coincidental.

So, if we had a Tree container class (template), you could build the DOM class out of that? Maybe a tree type is something else we should be looking for Boost. (If you don't want to wait, you could build your DOM type, internal tree and all, and later consider promoting that tree type as a fully acknowledged Boost type.)
The question about whether the boost graph library and spirit could be used came up before, which I already commented on in a previous posting in this thread. The argument is essetially the same here. Regards, Stefan
