Actually, project mentioned on Oleg's page is only in plan.
I see some gap between current moment and the moment when GiST will come to power for XML support - check out my proposal (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-05/msg00044.php), the 'minumum' list is that gap. When we will have some basic support (ideally, according SQL:200n SQL/XML standard and based on experience taken from commercial DBMSes), we would work on index support (w/o which this project definitely won't be applicable to production purposes) - first of all, path indexes and structure indexes. This includes some labeling schema (probably prefix schema, see http://davis.wpi.edu/dsrg/vamana/WebPages/Publication.html or papers about MS' ORDPATHs). GiST and Gis will definitely help here a lot.

Hello, on your summer of code page [1] you outline a project "XML improvements". Is there any relation (similar goals, feature overlapping, technical relation) to the "pgxml" project mentioned for some time on [2]? I have been (remotely) following Oleg Bartunov's page on GiST usage and datatypes for some time, now that I'm pondering the submission of a SoC proposal I'm wondering if the "XML improvements" project is a completely new approach, maybe even superceding the approach outlined by Oleg.
