[Fwd: filesystem support for XML storage and querying]

[Hans Reiser <reiser@namesys.com>]

This was a good paper.:)

I don't understand the notion of ids, what motivates them, etc.

ReiserFS originally intended to use unique ids and then we realized that 
keys were better.

Also, you'll want to understand carefully our inheritance architecture, 
which will be easier to understand once it is fully implemented.;-)

I enjoyed the paper, best,

Hans
