Comment:

 I've examined your test case, which boils down to:

 //typedef B<int> bint;
 BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT( B<int> )

 With your suggestion, this would generate xml that looks like;

 <B&lt;int&gt; ...>...</B&lt;int&gt;>

 Is this legal xml?

 Assuming it is, is this good idea?

 Without making a better case for this, I would be disinclined to alterh
 the library.
