You ought to take a look at SDPXML, http://www.k-3d.com.  It represents 
my attempt to come up with a more "C++ like" interface to an XML 
document (as an alternative to SAX/DOM), with support for both parsing 
and output ... I've been considering submitting it to boost, and would 
appreciate feedback.
