A few months back I started implementing a classdef wrapper for RapidXML that 
also follows a similar approach as the old-style @ftp class.
See: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?59245

I don't remember in which state it currently is. But I believe it was working 
more or less.
That implementation also aimed to achieve some compatibility with Matlab's XML 
interface. IIUC, that isn't an issue for this project because the libtiff 
wrapper would be internal to Octave.

I wouldn't claim that it is a "reference" implementation. Feedback is very 
welcome!
But hopefully some parts of it might help getting started with a libtiff 
wrapper.
