 The calls to (load|save)_(start|end) on lines 102,104 of
 basic_xml_oarchive.hpp and lines 80,82 of basic_xml_iarchive.hpp always
 call the default implemention defined in those classes.  According to the
 documentation, these functions should be able to be redefined by derived
 classes which they currently cannot.

 Line 102 of basic_xml_oarchive.hpp reads:
 save_start(t.name())

 when it should read something like:
 static_cast<Archive*>(this)->Archive::save_start(t.name())
