The way to understand this is to remember that xml_woarchive uses a member
instance of std::iostream<T> to do the actual input output.  So these
questions are not really about the serialization library, but rather of
the std::iostream<wchar_t> which is part of the standar library.

Of course this is not an answer, it's just a hint of where to look
for the answer.
