Isn't the purpose of Boost to bring C++ on par with library rich languages
like Java? And then, to be a sandbox for features that may eventually be
standardized? In that order? One of the project founders I'm sure will step
in here and straighten me out.

Xerces is ok for xml+namespaces but if you want to use additional
facilities (e.g., XPath, XSLT, etc.) you'll have to go to other packages
like Xalan.  Unfortunately, the Xerces and Xalan projects don't appear to
be all that well co-ordinated.  Makes it difficult to stay both current and
compatible.

It sure would be nice to have a "boost-level" C++ library for xml but I'm
not sure we could sell the idea that it should be "part of" C++.  Hope I'm
wrong.

What's wrong with Xerces?
