This is exactly the direction in which our 4Suite tools are heading.  We have 
released the DOM library and the XSLT/XPath processors.  We are now working on 
releasing an ODMG object database system with extensions for direct XML 
support, providing a DOM and XQL interface, and associated XSLT stylesheets.  
It will be open-source when we release it, which should be mid next month, 
although the first release probably won't have all the XML features.

Please let us know whether you'll be ineterested in early releases when it 
comes out because we probably won't be announcing it to this list right off 
the bat (unless we get all the XSLT integration in at first, which is 
unlikely).

Menawhile, if you really need something _now_ and it doesn't have to be 
open-source, eXcelon and Oracle might be worth a glance.
