[libxml++] Glib::ustring, lBoost Lib, and libstdc++

["Tom Browder" <tom browder gmail com>]

A couple of years ago I participated in a thread here discussing
decoupling libxml++'s dependency on the whole of Glib and friends.
Among other things discussed was possible substitutes for ustring.

Now I've come back to ask if there has been any thought to proposing
that ustring be made a member of the Boost library (for possible
future incorporation into the C++ standard library).

I've looked around a fair amount and it seems to me that ustring is a
strong candidate for that honor.  I've searched the archives here and
have seen no such discussion, so perhaps there may be interest.

Comments?

Thanks.
