I'm not convinced it's a great solution, but something like URISpace

Not very different in function, besides being XML..
However, the URISpace xml tag space is a bit too limited, so it
needs to
be extended a lot. And it's focus is a little different from what we
need in a general sense (but may fit reasonably well for a reverse
proxy
or web server).
The whole point is that it's extensible. Being XML makes it portable,
encourages tool development, etc. (which is what we were looking for
at Akamai).
Again, I'm not saying that this is the answer -- IMO URISpace is too
compex (although so is the problem space); I just despair of having
yet another solution in this space; see

What's nice about this is that you buy some efficiency by walking
down
the tree, rather than evaluating a linear set of rules...
Same.
