Comment (by ramey):

 why have you not used the spirit parser as xml_iarchive does?

 Seems to me that all this could have been achieved in a much simpler way
 with less code and less future maintenance requirement by updating the
 grammar on xml_iarchive.  This would have guaranteed passing of all
 current tests out of the box.

 Missing:
 a) Documentation/Explanation of what new features are offered and how they
 are used
 b) Tests of the new features
