And me :).

One thing that I would like to see is the use of [] for performing XPath 
queries, e.g.:

   xmldom << L"<xml-data>...</xml-data>"; // set xml

   std::cout << "found " << xmldom[ L"xml-data/foo/@bar" ];

With current technologies like Lambda and Spirit, we can make a streamlined 
XML API that fits in with C++ paradigms.
