Of course, but it feels a little bit unclean.

The other reason I did not mention (sorry, really bad wording from my side)
is that xml in general does not feel dedicated enough to what I need, i.e.
it's too verbose in the end (I have lots of 3d/4d-vectors and 4x4 matrices,
complex recursive/cyclic/self referencing graphs, and so forth, and it
should be human readable and writable).

I think I will use a custom format that I already had in the past, and go
use spirit once again to build a kiss-conformat serialization framework.
