The xmldb consortium has a paradigm of "collections" similar to directories,
which can contain other collections or xml documents.  It's possible at
least in some sense to specify 'paths' that navigate through the collection
hierarchy by name and into the document by Xpath, although it's not quite as
unified as my bald statement of it.

The Apache project Xindice is an instantiation of the generic APIs from
xmldb.
See xml.apache.org/Xindice and xmldb.org.  Even if XML databases are
anathema to you, there might be something to learn from how things are done
there.
