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.
