There are a few books around. I found this one helpful:

Designing XML Databases
Graves
Prentice-Hall
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0130889016/
[Two people have commented at Amazon and have differing opinions]

He describes several approaches to storage of XML in RDBs. I'm not sure if
that is exactly what you are after though.

For performance tradeoffs try:

D. Florescu and D. Kossmann (1999) A performance evaluation of alternative
mapping schemes for storing XML data in a Relational database. Technical
Report No. 3680, INRIA, Le Chesnay Cedex, France, May 1999.

or
ftp://ftp.inria.fr/INRIA/publication/publi-pdf/RR/RR-3680.pdf

D. Florescu and D. Kossmann (1999) Storing and querying XML data using an
RDBMS. IEEE Data Engineering Bulletin. Vol. 22, No. 3, pp. 27-34.
http://ftp.research.microsoft.com/pub/debull/99SEP-CD.pdf

There are other benchmarks as well, which I have linked from here:
