It looks useful!

I'm looking forward to seeing that...

How about a link to the regression tests for that library. I think they  can be
generated from the name / boost version so there's not much work required to get
a useful result. For instance the url for bind is

http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_33_0/user/bind.html

BTW Its a shame the actual regression test files are so Big.   e.g
serialisation is 3.2 Mb .. most of which seems to consist of the text
<td class="library-success-expected user-library-success-expected"

Use of JavaScript for that sort of boilerplate, rather than raw HTML, could get
the  file size down to %15 of that, which would save a lot of bandwidth and
speed everyones life up I would guess.

Whats the usual mechanism for querying/ updating xml files? Can it  do SQL?
