Regarding an xml query language...

I just stumbled across some work done by the Lucene camp... There is
an interesting thread
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lucene-dev&m=113355526731460&w=2

There is a contrib module for Lucene called xml-query-parser which
might be worth a look... The svn trunk is here
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/java/trunk/contrib/xml-query-parser/.

Cheers,
Mikkel
