lol - ne reason in particular.  The xml_iarchive was built to read files
created by xml_oarchive.  In fact its  a little more lenient than
this minimum - but not all that much.

familiar with spirit first.  This somewhat of a detour but its kind of
a fun detour and the total time would be about the same as hacking
some other solution.

Good luck.
