I started playing around with something like this as a follow on from my
"XML uberdocument shell" idea.

My first iteration was a DOM shell. You got a command line and could
navigate around an XML document using commands based on DOM methods. (eg
"fc" to move to the current element's first child, "ns" to move to the
current element's next sibling).

Next I started working on an XSLT version where you move around by typing
patterns (this was pre-XPath).

I haven't had time to get back to it but I'd be interested if someone
continued the idea.
