[boost] API Review request: XML APIs for C++

hi there,

following some discussion we had some weeks ago,
I'd like to invite everybody to review xml++.tgz at

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/xml/

It's a DOM-like and a SAX-like API currently implemented
on top of libxml2 (http://www.xmlsoft.org).

What it provides:

* parsing of xml files and creation of a document tree
* manipulation of document tree, i.e. insertion and
   deletion of nodes
* node iteration, search (xpath based)
* document output to a (xml) file

* event driven xml file parsing (sax)

To be added:

* validation (dtd, schema, etc.)
* ?

Is there any interest in this library evolving
into a boost::xml library ? If so, what needs to change,
what needs to be added / removed ?

Regards,
                Stefan
