#10240: Start tags in XML files are not checked
------------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  staehr@…          |      Owner:  ramey
     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.55.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+---------------------------
 The exception
 boost::archive::xml_archive_exception::xml_archive_tag_mismatch is only
 thrown when end tag is wrong, start tag may be anything.

 See attached example:
 {{{
 <seriobject class_id="0" tracking_level="0" version="0">
         <mem>12</mem>
 </seriobject>
 }}}
 is desired,
 {{{
 <mem>12</faulty>
 }}}
 is wrong and noticed as invalid, but
 {{{
 <faulty>12</mem>
 }}}
 is valid, should be invalid, too.

 Furthermore, in this special example, if you change the end tag of the
 root node (here: seriobject) to something else, there is also an exception
 missing.
