Comment (by ramey):

 OK

 First, thanks for spending time on this.  We're now at the point where
 you've looked at it more deeply than I have.  Does your patch:

 a) create class_name="B&lt;int&gt" on output
 b) and permit class_name="B&lt;int&gt" in input?
 c) trap usage of < and > in variable names on output?

 If not, can it be enhanced to do so?  This to me would be a definitive
 solution to the the problem and guarentee that any archive that is
 successfully written with xml_oarchive can be successfully read by
 xml_iarchive - which is where I want the real situation to be.

 Would this not resolve the issue
