There are better ways to compress XML than GZip - for instance, XMill 
claims to offer twice as much compression at approximately the same speed. 
You can read about XMill here:

You can download it here:

Here's a paper on compact representations of XML that can be used for querying:

Here's a paper on compact in-memory representation of XML data:

And for you document management folks, here's a paper on change-centric 
management of versions:

Warning: I have just browsed these papers, but they seem relevant and 
interesting.
