Could you please explain why you think it is not
appropriate to vote about a completely new interface
that enters boost?

I mean Spirit-X maybe once enters the C++ standard.
It's already the most important parser library of 
the world. So it is better not to carve errors in 
stone at a stage that yet allows changes.
Is it a problem if we all check this for user's issues
*after* the inner circle is satisfied?
