simple xml formatting via iostreams and/or containers

Hi,

I seem to remember reading about the idea of creating stream classes 
for dealing with XML formatting on the mailing list.
Also I think someone mentioned the idea of iterating over XML data 
and treating it like a container.

Has anyone done anything with this idea?

I started a very simple ostream-derived class for formatting XML on 
output that will likely meet my needs, but I'm far from an iostream 
expert.

Is there any interest in having such a tool in boost or is it more 
outside the library's charter?

thanks
