They had a document layer that wasn't released that was MongoDB compatible — so you can do this.

MongoDB is just a database with less features than a SQL database. An XML/XQuery database is fundamentally different, so I figured if FoundationDB layers are really so powerful, they might be able to model a tree DB as well.

Ah misread. Maybe? Storing hierarchical data would be pretty natural.
