Frontier as a scalable XML repository (was Re: Is XML dead already or what?)

[Dave Winer]

You know, it was news to me that Tim Bray had a specific vision for an XML
system wants implemented. Is there a common vision here? If so, it would be
great to get together a set of narratives that described the nirvana XML
server and a set of user tools for writers and for readers. I'm not talking
about building the software, just scenarios. The pie in the sky
description, if it's in your respective heads, would be valuable if it were
on a website. Dave
