Recently Postgres has added a data type 'xml' which allows for
a well formed document to be inserted as a column in a Postgres database.
At the moment it doesnot have much utility, you can *almost* get the
same thing done with a text column. It's obviously the first step.
Is there a document that describes the direction Postgres
will take relative to xml technology? XQuery, XUpdate and XSLT
are very different approaches that could compliment or severely disrupt
Postgres' evolution.
I personally am very excited about the potential but I'd like to get
the pulse of the community.
Thank you,

There is some information at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/XML_Todo, but
these items are mainly aiming to complete the approach taken in 8.3. As for
major new directions, this is basically up to user demand and contributing
resources.
