Look in the manual under Tutorial/List of Examples for pointers to special 
considerations regarding XML.

When you get a STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE look in the code where the failure 
occurs to find a comment on probable cause of the error.  In this case you 
will find;

// Anything not an attribute and not a name-value pair is an
// error and should be trapped here.
template<class T>
void save_override(T & t, BOOST_PFTO int)
{
// If your program fails to compile here, its most likely due to
// not specifying an nvp wrapper around the variable to
// be serialized.
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(0 == sizeof(T));
}

Which points to the manual (nvp wrappers) indicating how to fix the problem.
