I have toyed with that idea (path objects) when I was thinking about 
configurable separators. The reason why I used it was because I thought it 
might complicate interface, at least conceptually, if not syntactically. 
Simplicity of use was generally #1 goal, otherwise people would just prefer 
to use MSXML, Expat, TinyXML etc. I might need to reconsider it if I add key 
policies to traits.
