By taking a look at the xmltree-view.rev file in the Sample Stacks folder of
the Rev application folder, I have been able to build many pretty
interesting functionality. Be aware that the Rev documentation is not quite
accurate, for instance I found that some parameters are not mentionned in
the documentation and can be mandatory to use. Look at the scripts of the
xmltree-view stack for correct use and/or ask me directly to send you my
very very short summary of the revXML API.

One of my main current project is to write a kind of mutiple choice
questionnaires authoring system. A question is defined as a xml tree,
another xml tree for a questionnaire (ordered list of questions) and another
xml tree for the user's answers (values of questions). These xml trees will
be stored either in a MySQL database of in files. Also, I expect to
integrate CLIPS for taking actions based on the answers of a questionnaire.
My main target is health care record but such a system will be open to many
other domains of use. A lot of work, maybe an open source muti-developers
project, let me know.
