Samuel,

Have you looked at http://www.egroups.com/files/boost/persistence/ by Jens 
Maurer?

Several of us have been hoping that Jens will restart his development 
effort when he gets back from vacation in a few days.

I've been back and forth with him about various small issues, including the 
ability to handle nested constructs like XML and HTML, as your sample 
output seemed to be doing.

So there definitely is interest...

Best,
