Specifics, please.
What on earth do you mean by "the storage models of most XML databases"
when you say that? What functionality causes problems here? Which
vendors do you have in mind?
I have worked for three XML database vendors, and was on the
architectural team for two of them. I represented two of them on the
XQuery Working Group, at different times.

Doesn't seem like the best niche to me. Data integration scenarios are
probably the best niche, or just plain XML reporting from various data
sources, including at least one that is a large scale data store.
