Added a small patch to basic_xml_grammer.ipp
 NameSpaceMSft =   str_p(L"xmlns:xsi")  >> Eq     >> L'"'   >> 
str_p(L"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance") >> L'"' >> S >> 
str_p(L"xmlns:xsi")  >> Eq >> L'"'  >> 
str_p(L"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")     >> L'"'    ;

 SerializationWrapper = !S >> str_p(L"<boost_serialization") >> S
   | SignatureAttribute >> S >> VersionAttribute >> !S >> L'>'
   | NameSpaceMSft >> S >> SignatureAttribute >> S >> VersionAttribute >> !S 
 >> L'>'    ;

 and basic_xml_grapper.hpp, added NameSpaceMsft to the rules table
 NameTail,
        AttributeList,
  NameSpaceMSft,
        S;

Now it is is possible to use .NET  XmlSerializer to generate and consume 
boost XML serialzation data.
