Boost.Serialization uses XML for reading and writing (besides other 
formats). If it's going into  C++ standard (no matter if C++ 0x or TR2) 
then both should really go separatelym, then make serialization partly 
depend on XML. I mean, there is really no need to "force" someone who 
needs only XML to bother with whole serialization thing. Even simple XML 
support in the C++ standard library would be a good thing. And this 
obviously will require unicode encoding (like UTF-8) support in the 
standard.
