This looks equivalent to the Name-Value Pair implemented as part of the
serialization library already accepted into boost.  It not documented
separately as other candidates for separate boost components are - maybe it
should have been.  I don't see this as a problem.  The one in the
serialization library only has the functionality required to support
serialization and I have often expressed the desire that appropriate pieces
be moved out of the serialization library and into boost generally - along
with the responsibilities of maintenance, documentation, testing, etc.  So
please look at the serialization library one and see if you can reconcile
all of this.
