I, too, am interested in this.

I'm taking a hard look at Sedna, http://modis.ispras.ru/sedna/ , a
multi-user XML database, which seems to fit my brain and my current
xml-ish bent a bit better than ZODB or rdb.

The python modules advertised don't work reliably enough for me, though
I have hacked together a protocol module that works to my satisfaction
so far.  If anyone wants to play with it, I'll throw it into the zif
collective on Sourceforge.  I'm thinking it may be possible to do an
elementtree (with full XPath!) interface to Sedna.

Anyway, Chris, any pointers on interfaces and configuration would be
very much appreciated.
