I think that what is still missing in Boost is a library for reading and writing XML files. I have been using expat for a while, and wrapping it in C++ classes. It's a very capable parser and supports lot's of stuff. My parser stuff is just done with a switch statement (since it's event driven

Sorry about the long post, but that seemed the easiest way. numeric_limits::digits10 does what it says - the number that are _guaranteed_ to be correct on output, but that isn't what one usually wants for all _significant_ on input (and I suggest again another numeric_limits::significant_digits10

There's more to it than just creating something that can render UI elements from XML stream. XMLUI is a lot more than this. For one thing it's optimized for animation (sort of like flash) so that interfaces are purely widgetless (as I mentioned earlier). XUL (which is actually a language, you c
