Interesting.  So no one has bothered to expose this, i think vital piece 
of functionality??  :)  Well, at least now we know it's possible without 
totatly reengineering Xindice... maybe I'll take a look at the code to 
expose it at xmldb collections..  It wouldn't break the services that 
expect XMLResources right? like XPath, XUpdate, etc??
