Xerces is ok for xml+namespaces but if you want to use additional facilities (e.g., XPath, XSLT, etc.) you'll have to go to other packages like Xalan. Unfortunately, the Xerces and Xalan projects don't appear to be all that well co-ordinated. Makes it difficult to stay both current and compatible. It sure would be nice to have a "boost-level" C++ library for xml but I'm not sure we could sell the idea that it should be "part of" C++.

Huh - why do you think that? Simply reading the FAQ gives me "The Xalan-C++ release notes includes information about the Xerces-C++ release with which the Xalan-C++ release has been coordinated and tested." and even the Readme says "Xalan-C++ version 1.3 has been tested with Xerces-C++ version 1.6.0. Each Xalan-C++ version 1.3 download includes the Xerces-C++ distribution for the specified platform." Curious Ali

Isn't the purpose of Boost to bring C++ on par with library rich languages
like Java? And then, to be a sandbox for features that may eventually be
standardized? In that order? One of the project founders I'm sure will step
in here and straighten me out.
