changes the content of the node! right from the command line. You can use symlinks to share content between your document!!! you can have ACL at the node level!!! just write an xgrep and you are able to do xpath searches from the command line! just add an XML parser and you are able to do something like
cat xhtml.dtd > /document/@schema
and when you save your stuff as /document, the file system will trigger an error if the file is not valid!
Imagine all the stuff that you can do with this! and the file system can be journalled, offer node-level transactional capabilities, you name it! at right into the OS. fast fast fast!
This is all really cool.. the only thing is that it assumes that all files are XML. The obvious question is what happens when you try to do an xpath expression on a file that is not XML. Perhaps the filesystem module would know enough to check for <?xml version="1.0"?> ?
Lots of potential though :) Maybe you could tie a service to a virtual device. Like /dev/xupdate or /dev/xalan, and output to STDOUT?
Just rattling off goofy ideas.
