Plain XML :-)
Example:
<resources>
<foo>bar</foo>
</resources>
then, in code, you can get "bar" like this:
bundle.getString("/resources/foo");

Well, I don't have a need for that yet, so you are welcome to send in
patches for it :-)
Also, if it will be a drop-in replacement then it would probably be
beneficial to allow the use of traditional "dot-separated" syntax instead of
XPath syntax when getting resources.

If there is a standard API for XPath queries (I'm not aware of any), then it
would be easy. Otherwise, we would need to write our own (or extract from
Xalan) XPath query "evaluator".
