Is XamlReader a general purpose XAML parser?

Is System.Windows.Markup.XamlReader a general purpose XAML parser? I think it
is tied to WPF. Is there any general purpose XAML parser? Is it even possible
to have such kind of parser with the supply of domain specific information to
parse domain specific XAML?

It is tied to WPF in that it ships with WPF. But you should be able to
serialize / deserialize any object graph.

What do you mean by "domain specific XAML"? XAML with clr-namespace
declarations?

Thanks! Yes, that is what I mean - for example, a Work Flow xaml. In another
word, I would be interested to know if this parser can replace the one from
WF.
