Good morning everyone

I'd like to use boost::serialization for the generation of xml-files. The format of those files shall not be specific to or dependent of boost, i.e. I'd like boost to not write the root-node of "<boost_serialization signature="serialization::archive" version=...>".

E.g., instead of

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<!DOCTYPE boost_serialization>
<boost_serialization signature="serialization::archive" version="4">
<picogen-qt-scene class_id="0" tracking_level="0" version="0">
<comment>hello world!</comment>
      <fenum>two</fenum>
</picogen-qt-scene>
</boost_serialization>

I would prefer

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<picogen-qt-scene class_id="0" tracking_level="0" version="0">
      <comment>hello world!</comment>
      <fenum>two</fenum>
</picogen-qt-scene>

. I wonder if this is possible without tweakage of boost components (meaning that I would have to fork or write patches). I tried the serialization-documentation and google, but could not find appropriate information (or maybe I missed the right words).
