 In fact, as I wrote, I think that libxml++ 2.x works just fine with
std::string too. Again, I might be missing something but from reading the
code it looks like strings in libxml++ are used as just buffers containing
characters and their internal encoding couldn't matter less.

 Another important point, of course, is that any new features are probably
added to the latest version only, aren't they? E.g. I'm eagerly looking
forward to more high-level XML schema support in libxml++ and I don't think
this is ever going to be added to libxml++ 1.x, will it?
