ok, whoever is interested: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/xml/
contains my current working code (or almost), with some examples. As
I said, it's based on libxml2, so the Makefiles rely on it.

The demos use std::string as string class, but I'v already used QString
(from the Qt GUI toolkit) successfully as a unicode-enabled alternative.

Comments and suggestions are most welcome,
