[Typo3-dev] DBAL and postgres

[dan frost]

I've also been thinking about doing stuff around xpath/xsl/x*, the 
database of TYPO3.

My main project (for personal interested) is to make ObTS work with an 
XML version of TypoScript - TSML!

Would be interesting to see what you find. You're right that xpath in 
dbal makes no sense but xpath in the query language does - which is why 
postgres looked interesting.
