directory trees

I've just stumbled upon a new article at xml.com: Directory Trees to Document Trees. I've posted a comment to the article and dropped a note to the author.

Here is my comment:

As the article mentions XML representation of a file system, I think that the following link is of high relevance and interest:

find with XPath over file system
http://uucode.com/texts/xfind/index.html

The standard UNIX utility find now supports XPath:

$ ./find -xpath '/bin/*[@size > /bin/bash/@size]'
/bin/ipv6calc
/bin/rpm

The author is John E. Simpson. His homepage is http://www.flixml.org/. Unfortunately, for some reason, the start page is empty. With words similar to the above, I notified him about the my development.
