It supports inserts and updates by not storing the data as a flat
file. A plain XML file is not a good way to do this in general.
Perhaps you would be better off with something that let you view your
file hierarchy as XML!
It would not be too difficult a project for an undergraduate to write
an NFS server that let you mount an XML file as a filesystem. Works
across the net too!
What about attributes? Perhaps this is what Apple ("resource fork")
needed all along.
I would certainly like to be able to put processing instructions in my
directories.
Plan-9 gives you UTF-8 filenames.
Just think... you could validate your directories.
