Yes, being able to compare side-by-side would certainly help.

Please note that my goal in writing the boost.xml API was not to endorse
one particular backend API or another, but rather to use an existing
library (since, as we discussed numerous times, reinventing the wheel
would be rather naive) and hook it up to a *backend-independent* API.

The API itself must not rely on any backend-specific details !

Thanks,
