The contrib module xml2 (in the core source distribution and also
built in some bianry versions) provides some support functions for XPath,
where you store the documents in columns of type text. There is also a
project, XpSQL that does decomposition of XML documents - see

It's always valuable to see what people are interested in - but there are
sometimes reasons why it's not seen as practical or appropriate (standards
compliance, namespace pollution etc.) to include a requested feature.
