RE: [xml-dev] indexing and querying XML (not XQuery)
Then what you want are the equivalent of 
parameterizable stored queries, somewhat 
the equivalent of the way engines like 
Crystal Reports work.  Feed them a schema 
and they will give you back a UI with all of 
the queriable values from which you select, 
parameterize and store the queries.  It's 
a report generator for XML documents.

I was trying to start a conversation about using an XML indexing system 
in a particular problem domain - not something as grand as what you and 
Alan are are talking about.

To me using something like Lucene provides for a much faster and much 
less memory consuming process to search large collections of XML 
documents or relational databases (whether they are story XML or not).
