when people think about hiearchies, they think DOM like structure in which a
tree is made of little objects,
hence the "object model." but that is not always the best/most efficient
case becasue object creation/destruction
can be costly... and they are not inherently persistent...
VTD-XML models tree in a different way that perserves teh hiearchical model
using integers/offsets/lengths etc
that is fast to generate and inherently persistent... and it is not flat...

Look at VTD-XML, it has a XML model that hierarchical
but not made of Objects at alll, so technically it is not object model :)

Even thought VTD-XML project looks interesting itself I hardly see how
this relates to the current discussion. Don't mind to explain us your
ideas a little?
