XML parsing is something that's going to crop up over again.  For the XMPP
client, I intend to write some simple backends around third party libs such
as expat and libxml2 (not rapidxml as it's not an incremental parser).
 Rapid XML could still be useful for other parts.  In any case, in the
absence of Boost.Xml we'd have to make a lot of decisions about this
ourselves so we don't end up writing our own XML library.
